Question: A cylindrical shell has inner radius r 1 , outer radius r 2 , and length L . a . The 1 - D ,

A cylindrical shell has inner radius r1, outer radius r2, and length L.
a. The 1-D, steady-state, constant properties heat diffusion energy equation in a cylinder with no energy generation is
1rddr(rdTdr)=0
Solve this differential equation with boundary conditions T(r1)=T1 and T(r2)=T2 to show that the solution is
T(r)=T2+ln(rr2)ln(r1r2)(T1-T2)
b. Apply the Fourier law to determine an expression for the radial heat flow rate q(r).
c. Use your q(r) solution from b. to show that the thermal resistance of a cylindrical shell is lnr2r12kL.
d. Plot T(r) for T1=50C,T2=22C,r1=2cm, and r2=12cm.
