Abstract
A copper pipe carrying boiling water from the boiler house to the floor above is insulated and sheltered in a duct to avoid exposing the pipe to cold weather. For renovation reasons the pipes shelter has been temporarily removed, exposing the pipe to an extreme weather condition. It is critical to the plant operation for the water temperature at the pipe outlet to be maintained above 90oC. The Finite Element Model will be setup in Software Patran and the meshing will be done to execute accurate finite Element Analysis .The Finite Element solution was compared by an EES code in order to demonstrate different operation scenarios.
