Heat Transfer Coefficient for a Buried Pipe Circulating Water
Heat Transfer Coefficient for a Buried Pipe Circulating Water
(OP)
I have a 6" buried carbon steel pipe with a small circulating hot water flow rate of 15 usgpm through it. I am looking for a reference to calculate the heat loss from the water through the pipe to the soil. The water enters at 180F and I would like to determine the heat loss so that I can size a heater to replace heat lost to the surroundings.
Does any body know a reference for this type of problem or a heat loss coefficient under these conditions?
Thanks

Can you please send me the Sim Scis pipe phase sheet showing the heat transfer from a buried pipe with circulating hot water to the ground. Thanks bob@wlc.ca

from Thread403-62540 of HVAC forum. Except pipe MOC I think this link would of help to you.
