A uniform metal cylinder of thermal conductivity has a cross-sectional area of and a length of . Heat flows axially through the cylinder at a steady rate of . Assuming no thermal losses through the lateral surface, what is the temperature difference between the two ends of the cylinder?
- Cevap
- B
- C
- D
Cevap
The temperature difference between the two ends of the cylinder is .
According to Fourier's law of heat conduction, the rate of heat transfer through a material is given by . Rearranging the equation to solve for the temperature difference gives . Substituting , , , and yields .
