The air can be stagnate or flow through depending on what is easier to calculate. I am trying to figure out what length of copper pipe will equal x length of PVC pipe. I set 100' of 4" PVC pipe as an example.
Question#1 I would like to compare a 100' length of 4" PVC pipe with air in it surrounded by Earth and/or water. What length of 4" copper pipe would equal a 100' length of PVC?
Question#2 If the inside of the pipe had turbulence what length of non-turbulent 100' PVC 4" pipe would it equal?

I wish I studied more of it in college as it interests me now. I am going to have to figure out the amount of water to surround the pipe with as the water will be surrounded with earth. Then to figure the 45cfm - 80 cfm of air flow through the pipe how much the 71°F will increase.
Thank you again for your help. I am not following the math on this. If you have time can you plug the numbers in? I am curious as to the 45cfm of air flow through the pipe and how much that will affect the 80°F+ number.
Or this question might be simpler and help me as well. Say you have a 10’ long 4-5” diameter copper pipe or pvc pipe surrounded by 65°F water and 45 cfm of air flowing through it. What is the temperature of the air at the end of the pipe if the beginning starts at 65°F? How long would it take 45...
I can find all those numbers, but it will take time. Do you have a more detailed equation for me to use. I am leaving the internet webs for the holidays, so it will be a week before I get back to you. Thanks
Not enough info to go forward as I don't even know the equation. I am lost trying to figure out how much a 5-10' section of 4-5" pipe surrounded by water would cool the air going through it.
I am new and have a math and finance background. Because of my work I am starting to get into engineering related questions, specifically in piping. I flyfish a lot and can give pointers to anyone that helps me with my questions.
Say I have a 5-10' length of pvc, metal or copper pipe that is 4...
