  • Abstract
    The heat dissipation and temperature distribution in multilayered soil surrounding a buried cable are calculated using the finite difference method and the energy conservation principle. The numerical technique proposed is very suitable for modeling any real cable installation configuration in multilayered soil. The development of the model and the effect of the parameters that influence the conversion and the stability of the numerical solution of the heat dissipation from the underground cable system are studied.<>
