Insulated Pipe by International Energy Agency This is a simplified pipe model. The heat exchange coefficient is supposed constant and is given as a parameter. 1/AU = 1/ho/Ao + e/k/Am cfr Annex 10 data bank (S13) outer insulation surface ho = hc + hr is calculated with t0 = 30 and tamb = 15 that gives AU' = .22 W/m/k (tsu-tamb)*(1-EXP[-AU/dmdt/cp]) tex = ------------------------------------- EXP[-AU/dmdt/cp] dQ dm --- = ---- * cp * (tsu - tex) dt dt No dynamic nor time delay are modelized.
