Radioactive wastes are packed in a long, thin-walled cylindrical container. The wastes generate thermal energy non-uniformly according to the relation q = qv [1 – (r/ro) 2], where q is the local rate of energy generation per unit volume, qo is a constant, and r0 is the radius of the container. Steady-state conditions are maintained by submerging the container in a liquid that is at T∞, and provides a uniform convection coefficient h.
Obtain an expression for the total rate at which energy is generated in a unit length of the container. Use this result to obtain an expression for the temperature Ts of the container wall.
