A Comparison of the Impact of some Basic Factors Influencing the Temperature of Saturated Sandy and Loamy soils

A comparison was made between the impacts that the internal heat and solar radiation have on the temperature of saturated sandy & loamy soils. The problem was formulated using Boussinesqs approximation under some necessary conditions at which the heat transfer took place. The dimensional linear second-order partial differential energy equation was first abridged to a non-dimensional structure by using various regular dimensionless parametric quantities and then to an ordinary differential equation by perturbation technique. The emerged material parameters that comprise the Primordial heat and the solar radiation factor among related others were inspected on the temperature of the two soil samples: sand & loam, saturated at the equivalent level of humidity. The results, which were graphed, showed that both factors enlarged the temperature of the two soils at different rates and levels.

Abstract

A comparison was made between the impacts that the internal heat and solar radiation have on the temperature of saturated sandy & loamy soils. The problem was formulated using Boussinesqs approximation under some necessary conditions at which the heat transfer took place. The dimensional linear second-order partial differential energy equation was first abridged to a non-dimensional structure by using various regular dimensionless parametric quantities and then to an ordinary differential equation by perturbation technique. The emerged material parameters that comprise the Primordial heat and the solar radiation factor among related others were inspected on the temperature of the two soil samples: sand & loam, saturated at the equivalent level of humidity. The results, which were graphed, showed that both factors enlarged the temperature of the two soils at different rates and levels.
