depends on the inside diameter of the piep, the wall thickness of the pipe, hte geometry of the pipe, the insulation surrounding each section of the pipe, etc. you would need a host more information to answer this question.

What cause condenser coil to freeze when heat was turned on?
Sounda like you have a heat pump, more than likely you are low on refigerant
What would happen if it 20 degrees and the heating is not on and you turned the heat down to 19 degrees?
The heating will not come on
How long does it take water to freeze at 20 degrees?
It depends on the volume of water present, and the heat of the water to start with.
How cold must it be to freeze and break water pipes in or under a pier and beam house without heat?
32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius
How fast does water freeze at 12 degrees?
Just as soon as its temperature has dropped to 32 degrees (Fahrenheit, or 0° Celsius), and the heat of fusion has leaked out of it, it solidifies, I guarantee.
Is geothermal energy made of wood?
No, geothermal is from the ground, Geo = earth. Basiccally, anti freeze is circulated through pipes in the ground to absorb the heat and then through a heat exchanger to concentrate it to heat a building.
Why doesn't brandy freeze?
The molecules in alcohol prevent the water molecules from moving. They constantly collide with each other causing chemical reaction which gives off heat which doesn't allowing the liquid to freeze. unless -54 degrees or less the liquid will not freeze.
How is gas turned onto heat?
Gas is turned in to heat
What is true of the melting point and the boiling point?
Under ordinary conditions they are the same 'point'. For example, water just freezes and it just melts at zero degrees centigrade. The difference between the two states is not temperature, but the heat of fusion. When the heat of fusion is removed from water at zero degrees, it will freeze. When the heat of fusion is added to ice at zero degrees, it will melt.

What does freezeing mean?
the withdrawal of heat to change something from a liquid to a solid freeze is when a liquid turns back into a solid. or if it is cold outside instead of cold you could use the word freeze or freezing
How cold does it have to be for something to freeze instantly?
Different substances freeze at different temperatures. However all substances would freeze (except helium) at Absolute Zero. The time it takes for the substance to freeze would also depend on the mass and heat content of that substance.
