Question: A solid truncated cone has a circular cross section, and its diameter is related to the axial coordinate by an expression of the form D=ax

A solid truncated cone has a circular cross section, and its diameter is related to the axial coordinate by an expression of the form D=ax3/2. where a = 0.9 m-1/2. The sides are well insulated, while the upper surface of the cone at x1 is held at T1 and the lower surface at x2 is held at T2.

Determine the thermal resistance, in K/W, of the truncated cone made of copper (k = 385 W/mK) when x1 = 98 mm, T1 = 108C, x2 = 212 mm, and T2 = 13C.
