Hello,

This problem has been messing me up.

A person waters their yard. He has a rubber hose cylinder with an inner radius,[tex]R_i[\tex], of 1.5 cm and an outer radius, [tex]R_o[/tex], of 1.7 cm. The thermal conductivity of of rubber is 0.2 in SI units. The hose is 5 meters long, L. The hose is completely in the air with a temp of 30 Celsius while the water has a temp of 20 Celsius. Ignoring the heat loss from the end what is the power or heat loss per second.<br /> <br /> Here is my attempt:<br /> [tex]P=K*A\frac{\DeltaT}{r}[/tex]<br /> [tex]dA=L*2*\pi*dr[/tex]<br /> [tex]P=K\frac{\DeltaT}{r}L*2*\pi*dr[/tex]<br /> [tex]P=k*2*\pi*\DeltaT*L*Ln\frac{R_o}{R_i}[/tex]<br /> <br /> It seems like something is wrong though.[/tex]

Here is the question; I coulnd't get latex to work this time.

Here is my attempt:
[tex]P=kA\frac{dT}{dr}[\tex]<br /> [tex]A=2L\pi(r_f-r_i)[\tex]<br /> [tex]dA=L\pidr[/tex]<br /> [tex]P=k*dA[/tex][/tex][/tex]
 
While your having trouble with latex, what's your final answer?
