This is the temperature rise of cable p due to the total power $W_{tot}$ dissipated in cable k.
When both cables p and k are embedded in the same concrete (backfill), the temperature rise by buried object k is adjusted with the difference between the thermal resistivity of the backfill material $\rho_b$ and the thermal resistivity of the soil $\rho_4$: $$\Delta\theta_{kp}=\Delta\theta_b+(\Delta\theta_{kp}-\Delta\theta_b)*\rho_b/\rho_4$$ $\Delta\theta_b$ is the temperature rise by buried object k on the top border of the backfill. With this method, the difference in temperature rise inside the backfill due to the difference in thermal resistivity is taken into consideration.
