Chapter 3, Problem 3.90P

A nuclear fuel element of thickness 21, is covered with a steel cladding of thickness b. Heat generated within the nuclear fuel at a rate q . is removed by a fluid at T , which adjoins one surface and is characterized by a convection coefficient h. The other surface is well insulated, and the fuel and steel have thermal conductivities of k f and k s , respectively.

Consider a solid sphere of radius R with a fixed surface temperature, TR. Heat is generated within the solid at a rate per unit volume given by q = ₁ + ₂r; where ₁ and ₂ are constants. (a) Assuming constant thermal conductivity, use the conduction equation to derive an expression for the steady-state temperature profile, T(r), in the sphere. (b) Calculate the temperature at the center of the sphere for the following parameter values: R=3 m 1₁-20 W/m³ TR-20 °C k-0.5 W/(m K) ₂-10 W/m³

In this question, we are concerned with the evolution of the temperature u(x, t) in a homogeneous thin heat conducting rod of length L = 1. We can consider that the rod is laterally insulated as to have a one-dimensional problem. The evolution of the temperature is governed by the one-dimensional heat equation ди 0 0 = K Ət Əx2' Assume that this equation is subject to the following initial conditions u(x,0) = f(x) and boundary conditions (0, t) = 0 and ди (1,t) + и(1,t) — 0 (i) Discuss briefly the physical meaning of the boundary conditions.
