In areas where the air temperature remains below 0°Cfor prolonged periods of time, the freezing of water in undergroundpipes is a major concern. Fortunately, the soil remainsrelatively warm during those periods, and it takes weeks for thesubfreezing temperatures to reach the water mains in the ground.Thus, the soil effectively serves as an insulation to protect thewater from the freezing atmospheric temperatures in winter.The ground at a particular location is covered with snowpack at 28°C for a continuous period of 60 days, and theaverage soil properties at that location are k 5 0.35 W/m·K anda = 0.15 * 10-6 m2/s. Assuming an initial uniform temperatureof 8°C for the ground, determine the minimum burialdepth to prevent the water pipes from freezing.
