2. Consider a solid cylindrical rod of length 0.15 m and diameter 0.05 m. The top and
bottom surfaces of the rod are maintained at constant temperatures of 20°C and
95°C, respectively, while the side surface is perfectly insulated. Determine the rate
of heat transfer through the rod if it is made of (a) copper, k 380 W/m · °C, (b) steel,
k 18 W/m · °C, and (c) granite, k 1.2 W/m · °C
Ans: (a) 373.1 W (b) 17.7 W (c) 1.2 W
3. A spherical container of inner radius r1 = 2 m, outer radius r2= 2.1 m, and thermal
conductivity k 30 W/m · °C is filled with iced water at 0°C. The container is gaining
heat by convection from the surrounding air at T = 25°C with a heat transfer
coefficient of h 18 W/m2°C. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the
container to be 0°C , evaluate the rate of heat gain to the iced water.
Ans: 23.46 KW
4. Water flows through a pipe at an average temperature of T 50°C. The inner and
outer radii of the pipe are r1 6 cm and r2 6.5 cm, respectively. The outer surface of
the pipe is wrapped with a thin electric heater that consumes 300 W per m length
of the pipe. The exposed surface of the heater is heavily insulated so that the entire
heat generated in the heater is transferred to the pipe. Heat is transferred from the
inner surface of the pipe to the water by convection with a heat transfer coefficient
of h 55 W/m2 · °C. Assuming constant thermal conductivity and one-dimensional
heat transfer, express the mathematical formulation (the differential equation and
