Heat Emission from Pipes Submerged in Oil or Fat

Sponsored Links

The viscosity of a fluid has considerable influence on the heat transfer from a submerged heating pipe. Be aware that the viscosity of a fluid is highly dependent of the temperature.

The table below can be used to indicate the heat emission from a steam pipe submerged in an oil bath .

• Light oils - 220 SSU at 100 ^oF
• Heavy oils - 1100 SSU at 100 ^oF
• Fats - 3833 SSU at 100 ^oF
