A plastic sleeve of outer radius $${r_0} = 1\,\,mm$$ covers a wire (radius $$r = 0.5$$ $$mm$$) carrying electric current. Thermal conductivity of the plastic is $$0.15\,\,W/m$$-$$K...

A cylindrical uranium fuel rod of radius 5 mm in a nuclear reactor is generating heat at the rate of $$4 \times {10^7}\,\,W/{m^3}.$$ The rod is cooled by a liquid (convective heat...

A $$10$$ $$mm$$ diameter electrical conductor is covered by an insulation of $$2$$ $$mm$$ thickness. The conductivity of the insulation is $$0.08$$ $$W/m$$-$$K$$ and the convection...

A pipe of $$25$$ $$mm$$ outer diameter carries steam. The heat transfer coefficient between the cylinder and surrounding is $$5$$ $$W/{m^2}K.$$ It is propsed to reduce the heat los...

A gas filled tube has $$2$$ $$mm$$ inside diameter and $$25$$ $$cm$$ length. The gas is heated by an electrical wire of diameter $$50$$ microns ($$0.05$$ $$mm$$) located along the...

For a current carrying wire of $$20$$ $$mm$$ diameter and having $$k=0.5W/mK$$ is exposed to air $$\left( {h = 20W/{m^2}K} \right),$$ maximum heat dissiption occurs when thickness...
