A horizontal pipe 15 cm in diameter and 4 m long is buried in the earth at a depth of 20 cm. The pipe-wall temperature is 75 deg

ree C and the earth surface temperature is 5 degree C. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of the earth is 0.8W/m. degree C. Calculate the heat lost by the pipe. What is the heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm?

Explanation:

The given data for case (1) is as follows.

  h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Assuming that a rectangular slab is placed above the pipe and we will calculate the heat transfer as follows.

              Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

  where,    A = area

                  L = length

                  k = thermal conductivity = 0.8 W/m

             \Delta T = change in temperature.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

                = 0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{0.2}

                = 168 W

For case (2), h = 180 cm = 1.8 m

Therefore, heat lost will be calculated as follows.

                       Q = kA \frac{\Delta T}{L}

                           = 0.8 W/m \times (4 m \times 0.15 m) \frac{75 - 5}{1.8}

                           = 18.67 W

Thus, we can conclude that 18.67 W heat lost if the pipe was buried at a depth of 180 cm.

A chemistry student needs 60.0 g of tetrahydrofuran for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

67.492cm^3

Explanation:

To get the volume of tetrahydrofuran needed, what the student need to do is to apply mathematical calculations.

We know quite well that to obtain the volume of a substance, given the mass of the substance and the density of the substance is possible.

The volume of the substance is simply the mass of the substance divided by the density of the substance.

This is thus volume = mass/density

The mass given is the question is 60g while the density given is 0.889g/cm^3

The volume = 60/0.889 = 67.492cm^3
