Practice Problem Set 1
❶ Consider an object made from a hollow cylinder cut in half along the axial direction as depicted below.
Its dimensions are inner radius ri, outer radius ro and axial length L. One side of the object is at temperature
T0 while the other side is at temperature Tπ.
Other pertinent information are as follows:
constant thermal conductivity k
well-insulated at the radial and axial directions
steady-state conditions
no internal heat generation
Identify all the boundary conditions by expressing them as mathematical equations.
Simplify the relevant general heat conduction equation. Do not solve the temperature profile.
❷ Forsberg problem 2-44
