Equilibrium temperature in a homogeneous section (stationary regime)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the equilibrium temperature in a homogeneous section under stationary conditions. Participants debate whether the temperature can be represented as an arithmetic mean and seek clarification on the relevant equations and variables involved. The need for visual aids, such as sketches, is emphasized to enhance understanding of the temperature distribution across the section.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics principles
  • Familiarity with heat transfer concepts
  • Knowledge of mathematical modeling techniques
  • Ability to interpret and create graphical representations of data
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of thermal equilibrium in stationary systems
  • Explore mathematical models for temperature distribution
  • Learn about the application of arithmetic means in thermodynamic calculations
  • Study graphical methods for visualizing temperature profiles
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics who are interested in heat transfer analysis and thermal equilibrium concepts.

Homework Statement
A homogeneous cylindrical section has temperature T1 and T2 in your extremes. What is the temperature of thermal equilibrium. Consider that this section was taken from a larger section in which it had a stationary thermal flow regime.
Relevant Equations
Fourier:

Q/t = k.A.(T-To)/L
I believe it is just an arithmetic medium, but I am not sure. Could someone explain to me?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
'your' extremes ?

Or just the end disks ?

How does your relevant equation fit the described situation ?
(what do your variables represent ?)
(Did you make a sketch? Post it !)
