Natural convection air-cooled condensers
In natural convection air-cooled condenser, the heat transfer from the condenser coils to the air is by natural convection. As the air comes in contact with the warm condenser tubes, it absorbs heat from the refrigerant, and thus the temperature of the air increases. The warm air, being lighter, rises up and the cold air from below rises
to take away the heat from the condenser.
How to Calculate Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube?
Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube calculator uses Tube Thickness = (Thermal Conductivity*Surface Area*(Outside Surface Temperature-Inside Surface temperature))/Heat Transfer to calculate the Tube Thickness, The Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube formula gives the value of thickness of a tube which is defined by a gauge number. Smaller gauge numbers indicate larger outside diameters. The inside diameter (ID) is theoretical. Tube Thickness is denoted by x symbol.
How to calculate Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube, enter Thermal Conductivity (k), Surface Area (SA), Outside Surface Temperature (T2), Inside Surface temperature (T3) & Heat Transfer (q) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thickness of Tube when Heat transfer takes places from outside to inside surface of tube calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.5E+7 = (10.18*18*(310-302))/17.2.
