I am heating a pipe, and there is water inside it; will the temperature of the pipe be higher than that of the water? Will the water absorb the temperature from the pipes all at once?
What's going on? Without heating the pipe, the water at the bottom is not heated as quickly.
May I ask: 1. Is the pipeline horizontal or vertical? 2. What material is the pipe made of? What’s the thickness? 3. Is the water in the pipe flowing? Only after confirming these can the original poster’s question be answered.
The pipes are horizontal and made of stainless steel, with a diameter of around 20 millimeters and a thickness of 1.5 millimeters. The water inside the pipe is flowing; the flow rate is uncertain
It’s just a pipe; I use a heating wire on a part of the pipe to heat it. Will this create a temperature difference between the pipe wall and the water inside? Or will the heat generated by the pipe wall be quickly absorbed by the water?
In this case, the temperature of the water is definitely lower than that of the pipes. For example, it takes time for an electric kettle to heat water. In other words, it takes time and sufficient heat energy for the water to reach a certain temperature.
