Hi,
I'm trying to work out a formula for calculating the heat loss of hot air flowing through a pipe in cold air, so that eventually I can spec the length of pipe needed.
It's been a while since I'v done any thermodynamics so some help would really be appreciated. I've summarised the problem in the image bellow.
I thought about doing an iterative solution like bellow, but am struggling to understand which formulas I should be combining to account for heat loss to environment and heat flow along pipe.
Thanks,
Matt
