Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient for T11 and T22 Alloy Steel

What is or what will be the Difference in the OVER-ALL HEAT TRANSFER CO-EFFICIENT for the T11 and T22 Grade Alloy Steel.? The working conditions like steam flow and fuel firing be taken as identical except for the Temp.

Over-all heat transfer coeffients have to do with modeling a system or part of a system such as a heat exchanger.
For the construction materials of such a system, of importance are the specific thermal conductivities of said materials; in your case, T11 & T22 grade alloys.
These will go into determining the over-all heat transfer coeffient. You will also need to know inlet & outlet temperatures and the heat/fluid contact area.

Unless the thermal conductivity is wildly different between T11 and T22, the overall thermal conductivity will be very nearly the same. (Compared to boundary conditions, fluid turbulence, and fluid thermal conductivity, the conductivity of the metal is relatively minor.)

That's right, in terms of resistance to heat flow, there are 2 fairly large resistances, relating to heat transfer from hotter fluid to metal and from metal to cooler fluid, added to one much smaller one, relating to conduction through the metal, so a change in metal conductivity has little effect. The ΔT across the metal is much less than the temperature difference between the bulk fluids.
