Problem 1.(40 pts) A 1-m long cylindrical fuel rod is sheathed in a cylindrical metal sleeve. The
metal sleeve has a thermal conductivity, k. The outer sleeve surface has an emissivity, , and
outer surface temperature, T2 at r2. Convection and radiation occur at the outer sleeve surface.
Contact resistance is negligible. Determine
(a) The volumetric heat generation of the fuel in {:Wm3).
(b) The inner surface temperature of the metal sleeve, T1 at r1.
(Note: the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is =5.6710-8Wm2-K4)
Surrounding: Tsurr
Known variables:
Ambient: T,h
r1=5cm
r2=10cm
k=12Wm*K
T2=200C
T=Tsurr=20C
h=15Wm2-K
=0.8
