q R 3i =

1c) Since we assume no heat generation inside the stainless steel, the steady state heat transfer
rate at Ro is:
q R =q R =hA ( T o T )=4 R 2o h(T oT )=52360W

1d) We begin with the energy balance:

If we assume no heat generation inside the stainless steel, q =0 . Furthermore, assuming

T 2

steady state, t . Therefore, after rearranging, dividing both sides by 4 r r , and

taking the limit as r 0 , we find:

1e) The boundary conditions are as follows:
T =T i at r =Ri

And:
T =T o at r=R o

1f) Integrating both sides of the differential equation with respect to r, we find:
d r 2 dT
dr ( )

Dividing both sides by r2 and integrating again with respect to r yields:

C C
dT = r 2 1 dr T = r 1 +C 2
From the first boundary condition, we find:

From the second boundary condition, we find:

Consequently:

Solving for C1 we find:

Consequently, we find C2 is:
