A long cylindrical rod of 100 mm radius consists of a nuclear material (k = 0.5 W/m-K) generating 24 kW/m3 uniformly throughout its volume. The rod is enclosed within a tube having an outer radius of 200 mm and a thermal conductivity of 4 W/m-K. The outer surface is exposed to a convection environment at 100 C with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2-k.

a) Calculate the heat rate per unit length being convected away from the rod.

b) Calculate the interface temperature and the outer surface temperature.

c) Show a plot of temperature vs. radius from r = 0 to r = 300 mm.
