311 Heat Transfer Fall2012 Homework # 2: Answer

The document provides two homework problems related to heat transfer. The first problem asks the student to write the heat diffusion equation and boundary conditions for a two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction problem through a rectangular plate with different boundary conditions on each edge. The second problem asks the student to calculate the rate of heat transfer at the centerline and surface of a cylindrical rod given its temperature distribution, internal heat generation rate, and material properties, and also asks for the initial time rate of temperature change if the heat generation rate is increased.
