3 The exposed surface (𝑥 = 0) of a plane wall of a thermal conductivity K is subjected to microwave
radiation that causes volumetric heating to vary as:
𝑥
𝑞̇ (𝑥) = 𝑞̇ 0 �1 − �
𝐿
where 𝑞̇ 0 (𝑤/𝑚3 ) is a constant. The boundary at 𝑥 = 𝐿 is perfectly insulated, while the exposed
surface is maintained at a constant temperature 𝑇0 . Determine the temperature distribution 𝑇(𝑥) in
terms of 𝑥, ℎ, 𝐾, 𝑞̇ 0 and 𝑇0 .
UNIT – II
4 Derive the one dimensional heat conduction generalized equation for a rectangular fin. Consider fin
base is at a temperature 𝑇𝑏 and convection coefficient with surroundings fluid is ℎ∞ . Reduce it to
know the temperature distribution when the fin is assumed as long fin with infinite length.
OR
5 Carbon steel (AISI 1010) shafts of 0.12 m diameter are heat treated in a gas fired furnace whose
gases are at 1250 K and provide a convection coefficient of 104 W/m2K. If the shafts enter the
furnace at 305 K, how long must they remain in the furnace to achieve a centre line temperature of
810 K.
