4. A long pipe of 0.6 m outside diameter is buried in earth with axis at a depth of 1.8 m.
the surface temperature of pipe and earth are 95 0 C and 250 C respectively. Calculate
the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. The conductivity of earth is 0.51W/mK.
Given
.
r= = 0.3 m

L=1m
Tp = 95o C
Te = 25o C
D = 1.8 m
k = 0.51W/mK

Find
Heat loss from the pipe (Q/L)
Solution
We know that
