Hello, I am currently performing a calculation to determine the end/outlet temperature at the end of a certain length of insulated piping for

a steam system. Consequently, I need to select the insulation material and its thickness to ensure the end/outlet temperature meets the process requirement. I am using a template prepared by the previous engineering team. Summary of the approach for the calculation is as per below:

All the values above are known (except for the intermediate temperatures i.e. T2, T3 and T4) hence the heat transfer rate, q can be calculated using the equation involving T1 and T5 only.

The above equation is used to determine the end/outlet temperature, TL by using the q value obtained in Part 1. Conversely, the thickness of the insulation (r3 r2) required for a desired TL can also be determine using these two equations (easier to do it in a spreadsheet such as MS Excel by Goal Seek function i.e. set the TL = the desired value by changing the r3 value) Now as I am employing the same approach for another system, a boiler feed water pipe, I came stuck as the convection heat transfer coefficient for (hi) water at 135 Celsius and 53 barg is not readily available anywhere (and this made me wonder how the previous engineering team came up with hi for the steam in the 1st system) I am hoping if someone can help me on: 1) Whether the above approach is correct and sufficient 2) If it is, where can I obtain the convection heat transfer coefficient, h for at least water/steam at various pressure and temperature (Note: the 1st system involved steam at 400 Celsius and 40 barg and its h is said to be 5,700 W/m2.K) 3) If h is not readily available, how can I determine or calculate it? 4) Alternative approach to this.
