I have an application were I have a buried air duct that has an intake air temp of 40C and I need to determine the duct length to acheive an air exit temperature of 30C(geothermal application). Based on below, do the calculations look correct?
Paramaters:
Pipe inside dia (ID) = .055m

I am looking for the governing equations to calculate the conductive heat transfer in a semiinfinite solid. In my application I have a samll heat source that is buried in soil. I want to know the temperature of the soil at a given distance from the device.
I have a device that is cooled by both conduction and forced confection heat transfer. I am having trouble determiing how much heat is transfered by condcution and convection. I can easily calculate power disspated by conduction only, as well as for force convection only. How do I determine...
I am looking for a reference that provides data on thermal contact resistance (C-m^2/W) for metal to soil interface. In my application I have an enclosure that dissipates several Watts and is buried in soil. I am aware that that values will depend highly on moisture contact and density of soil...
