    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    b. T(r)=1 when q_dot=0 for all three cases right? Edit: Except the first one where T(r)=1+x

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Ok so I'm on the last one and have: T(r)=1+\frac{\dot{q}}{4k}(R^2-r^2)+C_1(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{r}) Now T(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_n x^n ?

    C_2=1+\frac{\dot{q}R^2}{4k}-ln|R|*C_1 T(r)=1+\frac{\dot{q}}{4k}(R^2-r^2)+C_1*ln|(\frac{r}{R})| So now this mess again: T(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_n x^n ?

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Ahhhh, I feel silly, here I was thinking it was first order. Ok so: \frac{dT}{dr}=-\frac{\dot{q}r}{2k}+\frac{C_1}{r} T=-\frac{\dot{q}r^2}{4k}+ln|r|*C_1+C_2

    \int \frac{-\dot{q}}{k} r dr => \frac{-\dot{q}r^2}{2k} \int \frac{d}{dr}(r \frac{dT}{dr})dr => Tr The dT is throwing me off, I'm not quite sure about it.

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Ok now were going back to some of my more fundamental problems in this class. \frac{1}{r}\frac{d}{dr}(r\frac{dT}{dr})=-\frac{\dot{q}}{k} (ln|r|)rT=-\frac{\dot{q}}{k} ?

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    1=b_0+b_1(0)-\frac{\dot{q}0^2}{2k} b_0=1 2=1+b_1(1)-\frac{\dot{q}}{2k} 1+\frac{\dot{q}}{2k}=b_1 T(x)=1+x+\frac{\dot{q}x}{2k}-\frac{\dot{q}x^2}{2k} (I found an algebra mistake as I was recopying it.)

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    T(x)=\frac{2}{x}+x+\frac{\dot{q}x^2}{2k}(x-1) Thanks so much! I should be able to figure out the other two on my own now.

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Ok: T(x)=-\frac{\dot{q}x^2}{2k} but bn => n(n-1)*bn*x^(n-2) b0 => 0(0-1)*b0*x^(-2)=0 b1 => 1(1-1)*b1*x^(-1)=0 I'm assuming this is wrong, but that's my logic for it.

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Ah ha! Ok I get that part. Now what do I with the 2B_2= \frac{-\dot{q}}{k}?
  11. S

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    Not quite. In 2B_2 + 6B_3 x+ 12B_4 x^2+... where are the 2, 6, 12, etc comming from? And why is this B_3=B_4=\ldots B_{\infty}=0 true especially when B_2 is equal to some real number? Isn't it true that as n increases B_n decreases? Are we just assuming B_3 and on to be too small to be...

    1-D steady state heat conduction equation (Cartisian, Cylindrical and Sperical)

    q, heat generation, is a constant. \dot{q} will change with distance, x. So no \dot{q} is not constant. Edit: Scratch that, \dot{q} is the rate of heat transfer so it is a constant in this condition.
