Water pipes are to be buried underground in a wet soil (thermal diffusivity = 2.78 * 10 -3 m2/s) which is initially at 4.5 degree Celsius. The soil surface temperature suddenly drops to -5 degree Celsius and remains at this value for 10 hours. Calculate the minimum depth at which the pipe be laid if the surrounding soil temperature is to remain above 0 degree Celsius. The soil may be considered as semi-infinite solid
Consider the above problem, find the temperature at the center of the slab one minute after the change in surface temperature
A mild steel plate 5 cm thick and initially at 40 degree Celsius temperature is suddenly exposed on one side to a fluid which causes the surface temperature to increase to and remain at 90 degree Celsius. Calculate maximum time that the slab be treated as a semi-infinitely body For steel, thermal diffusivity = 1.25 * 10 5 m2/s
