- cylindrical fuel element for a gas-cooled nuclear reactor, the heat generation rate within the fuel element due to fission can be approximated by the relation: q(r) = q_0 [1 - (r/a)^2] W/m^3 where a is the radius of the fuel element and q_0 is constant. The boundary surface at r = a is maintained at a uniform temperature T_0. Assuming one-dimensional, steady-state heat flow, develop a relation for the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface of the fuel element. For radius a= 30mm, the thermal conductivity k = 10 W/m middot K and q_0 = 2 times 10^7 W/m^3, calculate the temperature drop from the centerline to the surface.arrow_forwardDerive the temperature distribution equation for the adiabatic fin tip.

- In infinitely long parallel plates, Biot number and Fourier number are 0.2 and (15).Find the temperature distribution at center, temperature distribution at plate surface, andactual to maximum heat transfer ratio.arrow_forwardThe boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atm) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogen is commonly used in low temperature scientific studies since the temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphere will remain constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen in the tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank will result in the evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heat of vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at 1 atm. Consider a 3-m-diameter spherical tank initially filled with liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and 196°C. The tank is exposed to 22°C ambient air with a heat transfer coefficient of 22 W/m2 · °C. The temperature of the thin-shelled spherical tank is observed to be almost the same as the temperature of the nitrogen inside. Disregarding any radiation heat exchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquid nitrogen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from the ambient air in kg/sec.
