Question: A long post of circular cross section having a total lengthof = 2 and diameter d = 1 0 mm is placed outside at night

A long post of circular cross section having a total lengthof =2 and diameter d=10 mm is placed outside at night as shown in the schematic. Aportion of the post (0 x Lgen) is perfectly insulated and experiences uniform heat generation,=30/3. The post loses heat by convection and radiation, as shown. The post has anemissivity =0.5. The convective heat transfer coefficient is =10/2 and it is 300 Koutside (i.e.,==300).HW1.3(a): Calculate the flux of heat moving along the axis of the post (from bottom to top) aty=Lgen by calculating in units of /2.HW1.3(b): The temperature of the post can be approximated to be a constant of =305.Using this approximation, calculate the ratio of heat dissipated by the rod from radiation versusthat by convection.HW1.3(c): Do you think the approximation of a constant post temperature in part (b) to bereasonable? Justify your answer in 1-3 sentences.
