Heat transfer from buried pipeline
Heat transfer from buried pipeline
(OP)
Hi
I would like calculate the heat transfer from buried heated underground pipeline to the surface.
gas pipeline at 40C buried at 1.5 m below ground. surrounded by clay, silt and sand.
is there a commercially available software out there. thanks

If its just one job then the cost of the tool and the training may be prohibitive and it will be cheaper to buy this as a service from a consultan (IMHO).

In WinSim, they have an extensive modeling of heat transfer in pipelines where you pick the type of soil. It can even do air or water with variable velocities of these.
