Question: How to solve A thin electricat heater is fitted between two long, concentric cylinders having inner and outer radii of 2 0 and 4 0

How to solve
A thin electricat heater is fitted between two long, concentric cylinders having inner
and outer radii of 20 and 40 mm ; respectively: The inner solid cylinder (A)-has a thenmal
conductivity of 0.15Wm*K. The outer cylinder (B) has a thermal conductivity of 1.5
W/m K and its surface is subjected to convection with a fluid of temperature T=-15C
and heat transfer coefficient of 50Wm2*K. The thermal resistances between the
cylindrical surfaces and the heater are negligible.
a) Determine the electricat power per unit length of the cylinders (W/m) that is required
to maintain the outer surface of the cylinder (B) at 5C.
b) What is the temperature at the center of cylinder (A)?
