A cylindrical pipeline that is used for the transport of crude oil is buried in the soil horizontally such that its centerline is 1.5 m (z) below the surface. The pipe has the outer diameter of 0.5 m (D) and is coated with a 100 mm thick layer of glass insulation on the outside. Assume that heated oil at 120 °C flows through the pipe and the soil surface temperature is at 0 °C (T:). The soil thermal conductivity is known as 0.5 W/m-K, and the glass insulation thermal conductivity is known as 0.07 W/m-K. What is the rate of heat loss per unit length of the pipe (W/m)?

A cylindrical pipeline that is used for the transport of crude oil is buried in the soil horizontally
such that its centerline is 1.5 m (z) below the surface. The pipe has the outer diameter of 0.5 m
(D) and is coated with a 100 mm thick layer of glass insulation on the outside. Assume that
heated oil at 120 °C flows through the pipe and the soil surface temperature is at 0 °C (T2). The
soil thermal conductivity is known as 0.5 W/m-K, and the glass insulation thermal conductivity
is known as 0.07 W/m-K. What is the rate of heat loss per unit length of the pipe (W/m)?
