Guys, how do you calculate the thickness of the reactor insulation layer?

For a hydrogenation reactor with an inner diameter of 1.8 m, a flow rate of 5.5, and a cylinder head length of 10.85 m, how can the thickness of the insulation layer be calculated?

If calculation is required, based on the outer wall temperature T of the reactor, the temperature outside the insulation layer should be kept between 35 and 40°C. By looking up the thermal conductivity or thermal resistance of the insulation material in a table, it can be calculated

1. The parameters listed by the original poster are not sufficient to calculate the thickness of the insulation wall; relevant parameters are shown in the figure below for reference. 2. It is necessary to specify the applicable standards, such as the regulations related to insulation work for industrial equipment and pipelines. 3. For convenience, you can look for a small software online

Bro, can you share this software?

It should also be noted that it has not been verified whether this mini-program complies with the relevant standards or whether the data is accurate; if it is to be used in practice, it is recommended to conduct such checks.
