Heat Transfer Questions & Answers | |
Please ask your questions related to Heat Transfer in this thread, I will answer them as soon as possible. To insert mathematics use LATEX. For instance, let's say we wish to insert math within a sentence such as $q_{\rm rad}$ is equal to $\epsilon A \sigma T^4$. This can be done by typing \$q_{\rm rad}\$ is equal to \$\epsilon A \sigma T^4\$. Or, if you wish to display an equation by itself out of a sentence such as: $$ q=-\frac{\Delta T}{\sum R} $$ The latter can be accomplished by typing \$\$q=-\frac{\Delta T}{\sum R}\$\$ . You can learn more about LATEX on tug.org. If the mathematics don't show up as they should in the text above, use Chrome or Firefox or upgrade MSIE to version 9 or above. Ask your question by scrolling down and clicking on the link “Ask Question” at the bottom of the page.

No, you don't need to register again if you already have an account. I can't give you a bonus boost for this question thus because it doesn't involve heat transfer theory ;)

Even if $T_\infty$ is much higher, the maximum temperature in the composite wall will still be higher than $T_\infty$. This is because the left side is insulated and the heat must come out to the environment on the right side. In order for the heat to go out from the wall to the environment, the wall must have a maximum temperature higher than the environment temperature (recall $q^{\prime\prime} \propto -\partial T/\partial x$). Of course, if the environment temperature is a thousand degrees Kelvin or more and the wall is made in plastic, the wall would melt and the problem wouldn't make sense ;) But for this question, we can assume that the wall does not melt at the temperature encountered.. I'll give you 1.5 point for this question. I would have given 2 points if you wouldn't have made a mistake in typing $T_{\rm inside}$ — check carefully with the “preview” command that your post is well typeset.

Hmm, I am not sure what could be wrong with your solution.. Make sure to impose the boundary conditions correctly (fixed heat transfer at both ends) and if the arithmetic is done without mistake, you'll get 291$^\circ$C in the center of the rod.

Using the chart and analyzing the intervals between the curves $r_{2c}/r_1=1$, $r_{2c}/r_1=2$, $r_{2c}/r_1=5$, etc, you can take a guess of where the value $r_{2c}/r_1=11$ would be. Alternately, you could simply state that the closest answer in this case is $r_{2c}/r_1=5$ and mention how much error you would expect this to yield on the fin efficiency (give an estimate). I'll give you 1.5 point bonus for this question. I would have given more if you would have written your paragraph better with proper punctuation.
