CHAPTER 41
1946 Guide
Film conductance /0 depends on a number of variables including tem perature, diameter, and emissivity of the outer surface and can be calcu lated from data in Chapter 5. From this explanation, it is seen that it is unwise to recommend a given value of U for all uninsulated metal ducts.
The heat loss from a given length of duct can be expressed by:
c- ^[pTr*)-*]

The heat given up by the air in the duct is:
Q = 0.24 W (f, - /,) = 14.4 A Vm Pv (/, - A)

Symbols used in these equations are listed at end of chapter. -
In using Equations 13, 14 and 15, one of the duct air temperatures will be unknown and will.be obtained by substitution of the other known or assumed values.
Heat loss coefficients for insulated ducts with various conductivities are given in Fig. 9. The conductivities of various materials, which are based on mean temperatures, ranging from, about 70 to 90 F, will be found in Table 2 of Chapter 6. For cases where the mean,temperature
