Consider two long, cylinder rods of the same diameter but different

materials. One end of each rod is attached to a base surface

maintained at 100 ℃ while the surface of the rods are exposed to
ambient air at 20 ℃ . By traversing the length of each rod with a
thermocouple, it was observed that the temperature of the rods were
equal at the positions X A =0.15 m and X B=0.075m where X is measured
from the base surface. If the thermal conductivity of rod A is known to
be K A =70 W /m. K , determine the value of K B for rod B.
- What is meant by heat transfer?
- What are the Types (Modes) of Heat Transfer Processes?
- Define each mode with its formulas.
b) Write down the general Heat Diffusion Conduction in 3-D Transient with Heat
Generation in Cartesian Form, then for a plane wall 1-D steady-state conduction without
heat generation, prove that the thermal resistance for conduction

c) Drive the critical radius of insulation formula (ro cr ). Explain the

relation between (ro, ro cr) & its applications in heat transfer with
drawing?
