Question

A very long pipe of 0.05 m (r1) radius and 0.03 m thickness (r2 - r1) is buried at a depth of 2m (z) to transport liquid nitrogen. The pipe wall has a very low thermal conductivity of 0.0035 Wm- 1K-1 and receives a cooling power of 10 W/m to keep the liquid nitrogen at 77 K. If the thermal conductivity of the ground is 1 Wm-1K-1, what is the surface temperature of the ground

Answer 1

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

thermal conductivity is A measure of the ability of a material to transfer heat. Given two surfaces on either side of the material with a temperature difference between them, the thermal conductivity is the heat energy transferred per unit time and per unit surface area, divided by the temperature difference.
