Question No. 37 Question Paper series D Subject --- Heat Transfer

Given data

Diameter (d) : 4 cm [0.04m] -----------> radius (r) = 0.04/2 = 0.02 m

Length (l) : 16 cm [0.16m]

Thermal conductivity (k) : 24 w/m0 c

Temperature at center (Tc) : 2100 c

Temperature at surface (T0) : 450 c

To Find : The rate of heat generation within the bar (Q)

Solution-

q
Maximum temperature at the center: Tc = T0 + r02
[From Fundamentals of
4
Engineering HMT RC Sachdeva 4th edition Page no. 88 Eqn No.3.73]

q = {[Tc-T0] 4k}/ r02

q= {[210-45]4*24}/0.022 --------> =39600000 or 39.6 X 106 w/m3
To find Q= q x v (v-Volume of the solid bar)
v = pi/4 x d2 x l ---------> 3.14/4 x 0.042 x 0.16 = 2.01061x 10-4 m3
Q = 39.6 X 106 x 2.01061 x 10-4 = 7962.05 w

So the answer is 7962.05 w

Given options are a) 240 w b) 1013 w c) 79,620 w d) 3.96 x 106 w

Remark: The thermal conductivity value given as k=24w/m-c instead

of 2.4w/m-c so there is no suitable option is given here. So sir I
kindly request you to take possible decision for this above
mentioned question paper.
