Section 10.2 Heat Conduction in a Cylinder with an Electrical Heat Source A slightly different path from the one in BS&L ed. 2. > restart; > A:=r-> 2*Pi*r*L; area of conduction > Q:=r-> - k*A(r)*D(T)(r); Heat conducted across cylinder of radius r in the direction of increasing r > Q(r); the rate of thermal energy into cylindrical shell at r > Q(r + dr); rate of thermal energy out across cyllindrical surface at r+dr > LHS:=limit((Q(r+dr)-Q(r))/dr,dr=0); Left hand side of energy balance > de:=LHS=A(r)*Se; energy balance, out - in = energy production by electrical dissipation > sol:=dsolve({de,T(R)=T0,T(0)=finite},T(r)); Solving the de with BCs 10.2-12 and the equivalent of 10.2-8 > assign(sol); Giving T(r) a value > T:=unapply(T(r),r); Making T a function > dT:=T(r)-T0; > dToverCon:=simplify((dT/(Se*R^2/(4*k))));dTmax:=T(0)-T0;dTavg:=int((T(r)-T0)*r,r=0...R)/int(r,r=0...R); QatR:=Q(R); Our answers agree with eqs. 10.2-13, 14, 15 and 16
