Problem 1

• T = T(x)
𝑑2 𝑇
• 𝑑𝑥 2
=0

• 𝑇 = 𝐶1 𝑥 + 𝐶2
• T (x = 0) = T1 = 200 C and T (x = L) = T2 = 100 C
𝑇2 −𝑇1 100−200 𝐶
• T1 = 0 + 𝐶2 = 𝐶2 = 200 C and T2 = 𝐶1 𝑥 + 𝐶2 so 𝐶1 = 𝐿
= 2
= −50 𝑚
𝑇2 −𝑇1
• 𝑇 = 𝑇1 + 𝑥 = 200 − 50𝑥
𝐿

• The solution satisfies the boundary conditions and the temperature profile is linear.

Problem 2

−5×106
• 𝑇= 2×28
× 𝑥 2 + 𝐶1 𝑥 + 𝐶2

• at x = 0, T = 0; then 𝐶2 = 0
• at x = 0.04, T = 0; then 𝐶1 = 3571.4

• 𝑇= 2×28

× 𝑥 + 3571.4 = 0

• x = 0.01999 ≅ 0.02 𝑚 where T = 35.7 C is the maximum temperature

Problem 3
𝑑𝑥
• 𝑑𝑡
= 37.5 − 3.5𝑥

• 37.5−3.5𝑥
𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑡

𝑥 1 3
• ∫50 37.5−3.5𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = ∫0 𝑑𝑡

• 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑢 = 37.5 − 3.5𝑥

𝑥 1 37.5−3.5𝑥 1
• ∫50 37.5−3.5𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = ∫−137.5 − 3.5𝑢 𝑑𝑢

• Integrating for u and later substituting by 𝑥 we obtain the following expression:

-0.285× (ln|37.5 − 3.5𝑥| − 4.923) = 3

• Solving for x, ln|37.5 − 3.5𝑥| = 𝑒 0.285+4.923

• 𝑥=

• 𝑥 = 10.71 g/L

Problem 4
𝑑𝜃
• 𝑑𝑡

• Separating the variables and integrating both sides we get:
𝜃 100

𝑑𝜃 = ∫ −10−6 𝑑𝑡

• 𝜃= 9 = 0.089 (rejected) or 𝜃 = 9 = 909.09 (accepted)
991+1009𝑒 5000 1009𝑒 5000 −991
• Thus, the temperature 𝜃 = 909.09 𝐶after 100 mins
