On a certain winter night, the temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the wall are measured to be at about 62°F and 25°F, respectively, for a period of 8 hours. Determine the rate of heat loss through the wall that night.arrow_forwardQ5Two large containers A and B of the same size are filled with different fluids. The fluids in containers A and B are maintainedat 0° C and 100° C, respectively. A small metal bar, whose initial temperature is 100° C, is lowered into container A. After1 minute the temperature of the bar is 90° C. After 2 minutes the bar is removed and instantly transferred to the othercontainer.

- Consider a heat conductor in the form of a long cylinder, with inner and outer radii R1 and R2, respectively. Heat is generated within the cylinder, where the temperature O(r, t) at position r and time t satisfies the modified heat equation = DV0 + H, where D is the thermal diffusivity, and H is proportional to the rate of heat production. The inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder are cooled by a fluid maintained at constant temperature Oo. (a) If the temperature is in a steady state and depends only on the distance r from the centre of the cylinder, use cylindrical coordinates (r, 0, 2) to write down an ordinary differential equation for O(r) valid in the region R1arrow_forward6. a.

Heating the iron cylinder on the bottom side is done by placing the iron on the hotplate. This iron has a length of 20 cm. The surface temperature of the hotplate is set at 300oC while the top side of the iron is in contact with the still outside air. To reach the desired hotplate temperature, it takes 5 minutes. Then it takes 15 minutes to measure the temperature of the upper side of the iron cylinder at 300oC.
