Also, the shape factor expression for the “isothermal sphere buried in a semi-infinite medium” presented in Table 4.1 provides the same result with z—400,PROBLEM 4.17 KNOWN: Heat generation in a buried spherical container.

The heat loss may be reduced by burying the pipe deeper or adding more insulation. (2) The convection resistance associated with the ail flow through the pipe may be signifieant, in which ease the foregoing result would overestimate the hont loss. A calculation of this resistance may be based on results presented in Chapter 8. (3) Since s>3D/2, the shape factor for the soil can also be evaluated from S = ar /th(42/D) of Table 4.1, and an equivalent result is obtained.PROBLEM 4.19 KNOWN: Electric conductor with insulating sleeve buried fn a saud-filled trench.

(2) Our calculation presumes there is negligible thermal contact resistance between the heater and the medium. In practice, this would not be the ease unless a conducting paste were used.
