    Heat Conduction in A Cylinder

    Uploaded by

    zul
    This document summarizes heat conduction in a cylinder. It shows the heat balance equation for an annular shell of the cylinder and derives the first-order ordinary differential equation governing heat conduction. It then solves this equation for the cases of constant and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, deriving expressions for the temperature distribution and heat flux inside the cylinder. The heat flux is shown to decrease moving away from the cylinder center, in contrast to the constant heat flux in a slab.

    Heat Conduction in Cylinder
    In contrast in slab geometry, the area is changing along
    the heat flow direction.

    Step 5

    Heat balance around the annulus shell generation

    A compact mathematical form:

    (2rL)q(r )r r  (2rL)q(r)r r r  0


    Divide by 2rL

    rq(r )r r  rq(r )r r  r 0


    r
    Continue..
    Now making the shell as thin as possible;

    lim
    rq(r )r r  rq(r )r r  r
    
    d (rq)
    0
    r 0 r dr

    Thus, the final heat balance equation valid at a point is;

    d

    Step 6

    Apply the Fourier law of heat conduction,

    d  dT 

    dr  dr 

    Again there are two conditions;


    1. If k is constant.
    2. If k is a function of temperature.
    Continue..
    Let’s first deal with the case of constant k first.

    Step 7: Boundary conditions

    Step 8: Temperature distribution

     r 
    ln 
    T (r )  T2  R2 
     Always associated
    T1  T2  R1  with cylindrical
    ln  geometry
     R2 
    Continue..
    Step 9: Heat Flux

    From the temperature distribution and Fourier’s law, we obtain;

    k (T1  T2 )
    q(r ) 
     R2 
    r. ln 
     R1 

    Unlike the slab case, this heat flux is not a constant, but rather
    decreases as the heat moves away from the center.
