Some sections of the Alaska pipeline above ground are supported by vertical steel supports (k = 25 W/mK), which have a length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 0.05 m². Under normal operating conditions, the temperature variation along the length of the steel support is given by the expression T = 100 – 150x + 10x², where T and x have units of °C and m, respectively. Temperature variations in the cross-sectional area of the support are negligible. Evaluate the temperature and the heat conduction rate at the pipeline-support junction (x = 0) and at the support-soil interface (x = 1 m). Explain the difference in heat rates.

The average temperature of the soil to a considerable depth is approximately 277.6 K (40°F) during a winter day. If the outside air temperature suddenly drops to 255.4 K (0°F) and stays there, how long will it take for a pipe 3.05 m (10 ft) below the surface to reach 273.2 K (32°F)? The convective coefficient is h = 8.52 W/m2 -K (1.5 BTU/h-ft2 -°F).
