Heat transmission from steam or water heating pipes submerged in water. Heat transfer rate for assisted (forced) and natural circulation
Sponsored Links
Heat emission from steam or water pipes submerged in water can be found from the table below.
| Temperature Difference between the Steam/Water in the Pipe and the Surrounding Water (oF) | Heat Transfer Rate to the Surrounding
Water
(Btu/ft2.h.oF) |
| 50 | 100 - 225 |
| 100 | 175 - 300 |
| 200 | 225 - 475 |
For practical applications - the heat transfer rates can roughly be set to:
| Type of Application | Heat Transfer Rate to the Surrounding
Water
(Btu/ft2.h.oF) |
| Low pressure tank coils with natural circulation | 100 |
| High pressure tank coils with natural circulation | 200 |
| Low pressure tank coils with forced circulation | 200 |
| High pressure tank coils with forced circulation | 300 |
