Pipe Temperature Analysis

The document contains temperature and fluid velocity data from experiments on bare, lagged, and finned pipes. It includes: - Temperature profiles showing the effect of position along the pipe for two trials of each pipe type. Finned pipes most effectively increased surface temperatures while maintaining lower internal temperatures. - Calculations of fluid properties, flow rates, heat transfer rates, Reynolds numbers, and heat transfer coefficients for each trial. Reynolds numbers indicated turbulent flow in all trials. - Finned pipes had the highest average heat transfer rates while bare pipes had the lowest. Heat transfer coefficients generally increased from bare to lagged to finned pipes.
