OPTIMUM SINGLE AND LAYERED PIPE INSULATION FOR A GIVEN HEAT LOAD UNDER NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER

The present work is an attempt for gaining some standard and technical information to analyze the problem of heat loss from pipelines carrying hot streams. The analysis covers the use of a single cylindrical insulation or composite structure of different insulating materials. Applying the quasiNewton’s method in STATISTICA program,the thermal conductivity equation function of factors affecting insulation efficiency
