Assignment 1 (20 Marks) : Name: Matric: Section

The document describes a spherical container with an inner radius of 11 cm and outer radius of 13 cm. The inner surface is maintained at 160°C while the outer surface is at 70°C. It asks the student to (1) derive the general temperature distribution equation, (2) determine the temperature at r=11 cm, and (3) calculate the total heat loss in watts. It also asks them to comment on how the temperature would change if the sphere became a cylindrical pipe.

ASSIGNMENT 1 [20 Marks]

NAME: MATRIC: SECTION:

Consider a spherical container of inner radius r1 = 11 cm, outer radius r2 = 13 cm, and thermal conductivity k = 65 W/mC, as shown in Figure A1. The inner and outer surfaces of the container are maintained at constant temperatures of T1 = 160C and Consider steady condition and one dimensional conduction. T2 = 70C, respectively.

a) Show that the general relation for temperature distribution is


T (r ) r1r2 r T rT (T1 T2 ) 2 2 1 1 r (r2 r1 ) r2 r1

(10 Marks)

b) Determine the temperature at r = 11cm, c) Calculate the total heat loss in Watt, d) If the spherical container is changed into a cylinderical pipe with the same radius, comment the value of temperature at r = 11 cm whether it is lower or higher and show the proof.
