Chapter 4, Problem 87P

In areas where the air temperature remains below 0°C for prolonged periods of time, the freezing of water in underground pipes is a major concern. Fortunately, the soil remains relatively warm during those periods, and it takes weeks for the subfreezing temperatures to reach the water mains in the ground. Thus, the soil effectively serves as an insulation to protect the water from the freezing atmospheric temperatures in winter.

The ground at a particular location is covered with snowpack at -8°C for a continuous period of 60 days, and the average soil properties at that location are k = 0 .35 W/m .K and  α  = 0 .15  ×  10 -6  m 2 /s . Assuming an initial uniform temperature of’ 8°C for the ground, determine the minimum burial depth to prevent the water pipes from freezing.

During hot summer weather, many people put “koozies” around their beverages to keep the drinks cold. In addition to preventing a warm hand from heating the container through conduction, what other mechanisms slow the process of warming beverages?
Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. Consider a room whose air temperature is maintained at 22°C throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 24°C and 12°C in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32°C throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2-K. Calculate the following. Heat flux due to convection: qbonv W/m?
