Heat transfer rate for a pipe with a fluid flowing inside.
Description
The rate of heat transfer between the bulk of the fluid inside the pipe and the pipe external surface is related to the pipe surface area, the wall thickness and the difference in temperature between the fluid inside the pipe and the pipe external surface.
