Question: 1 . A drill string in a wellbore is initially at 1 5 0 deg C due to geothermal heat. It is then cooled

1. A drill string in a wellbore is initially at 150\deg C due to geothermal heat. It is then cooled by drilling mud circulating at 40\deg C. The surface area of the drill string in contact with the mud is 10 m', and the convective heat transfer coefficient between the mud and the drill string is 50 W/m'.K. Calculate the rate of heat loss from the drill string at the moment its surface temperature is 100\deg C.
