<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear sir/madam,<br><br></div>I have a doubt on Type-952
(Buried horizontal pipes) for geothermal cooling in which the system
supposed to be buried inside the soil. In the parameters how to define
the thickness of insulation since I don't want to give thermal
insulation to allow heat transfer between the pipe and soil. If I gave
insulation as zero value it is showing some error and simulation no
running. Please guide me how to solve the problem.<br></div>Also please
clarify what is average surface temperature. Is it equivalent to average
annual ambient temperature or temperature of soil at a certain depth.<div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span><font color="#888888"><font color="#000000"><font size="2">Thanks & Regards,</font></font><br><br></font></span></div><b><span></span></b><div><b><span></span></b><span><span style="color:rgb(33,29,112);font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"><b>Sanjeev Jakhar</b><br>Research Scholar</font></span><font color="#000000"><br></font><b style="color:rgb(33,29,112);font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Center for Renewable Energy and Environment Development (CREED)<br>Mechanical Engineering Department<br></font></b></span><div><span></span></div><span><font color="#000000">
