1. Derive general three dimensional conduction equation for the cylindrical co-ordinate
system. [CO-1]
4. Consider a solid stainless steel wire with a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m.K. The
wire has a diameter of 1mm, a resistivity of 45×10-8 Ω.m, and carries a current of 120
A, (i) Determine the rate of heat generated within the wire, (ii)Derive expression for
temperature distribution, and (iii) calculate the maximum temperature rise in the wire.

5. Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the
temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e 200C. Its
width is 5 cm, thickness is 1 mm, thermal conductivity is 200 W/m.K, and base
temperature is 400C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2.K. Estimate the fin
temperature at a distance of 5 cm from the base and the rate of heat loss from the
entire fin. [CO-2]
6. (a) Derive an expression for the temperature distribution in a Lumped system in terms
of Biot number and Fourier number and also explain the criteria for lumped system
analysis. [CO-2]
(b) A 10mm copper (k = 380 W/mK) cable is to be laid in an atmosphere of 200C(ha
= 8.49 W/m2K). The surface temperature of the cable is likely to be 650C due to heat
generated within. Find the rate of heat loss (i) with critical radius of insulation (ii)
without insulation.[CO-2]
