Applied Energy, 1983, vol. 15, issue 2, 98 pages

Abstract: For slow flows of hot oils through large diameter horizontal pipelines, natural convection currents within the oils affect the rates of heat transfer from the pipelines. This phenomenon is taken account of in the presented predictions of the optimal internal thicknesses of the pipes' thermally insulating liners, corresponding to the least rates of financial expenditure upon energy. The recommended average temperatures for the transmission of the oil through short pipelines are also predicted for a range of conditions commonly encountered.
