Determine the maximum temperature of the fuel element and the maximum temperatur

Question

Determine the maximum temperature of the fuel element and the maximum temperature of the steel cladding. (c) Sketch the radial temperature distribution from r=0 to r-> ?

2. A nuclear fuel element of radius R is covered with a steel cladding of thickness a. Heat generated within the nuclear fuel element at the rate of q0 is removed by convection by a fluid which is maintained at a temperature Tinfinity and convection coefficient h. (a) Derive an expression for the temperature distribution T(r) within the nuclear fuel element In terms of q0 = 1x 10^8 W/m^3, kf, R, a, k, h, and Tinfinity (b) If R = 12.5 mm, a = 3 mm, h = 6000 W/(m^2K), kf= 20 W/(mK), k = 15 W/mK) and Tinfinity = 95degreeC, determine the maximum temperature of the fuel element and the maximum temperature of the steel cladding. (c )Sketch the radial temperature distribution from r=0 to r right arrow infinity.
