statement. 2) To control the right amount of covering material it is desired to know the critical insulation radius r2. Obtain the expression to calculate such radius.
A solid nuclear fuel with spherical shape of radius r, and thermal conductivity k, generates a certain heat transfer rate per unit volume q. The fuel is covered to control the dissipated heat. The covering material, of external radius r2, has a conductivity k2 and it is surrounded by an air flow which is characterized by a convection coefficient h. 1) Obtain the expression to calculate the thermal resistance of the covering material as a function of the variables given in the
