A hollow tube possesses a length , inner radius , and outer radius . The material has a thermal conductivity . Determine the heat flowing through the walls of the tube if the flat ends are maintained at temperatures and ().
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The heat flows longitudinally along the length of the tube because the temperature difference is maintained across its flat ends.
The cross-sectional area of the hollow tube through which heat flows is the area of the annular region, given by .
The length of the tube is and the temperature difference is .
According to the law of thermal conduction, the rate of heat flow is .
Substituting the values, we get .
