Hi I am trying to do a transient heat transfer calculation.
The water flowing through the pipe is laminar (1 m/s, id = 0.0127 m, Re_d = 0.01) transferring heat to the pipe via convection, then the pipe (od = 0.015875 m, l = 144 m) transfers heat to the ground again via conduction.
I found this thread here, that details some similar concepts, but just stops short of what I need.

I am wondering if anyone can help with this problem. I am not quite sure how to tackle this one.
I guess I am looking for equations for convection through the pipe for laminar flow, conducting in the pipe to the ground as an infinite medium. I would be able to manipulate it to suit, but I guess I need some starting points.
Can anyone help?
Thanks for anything that anyone can provide.
