In case of heat flow by conduction for a cylindrical body with an internal heat source, the nature of temperature distribution is_________________?
Correct answer: C. Parabolic
- A. Linear
- B. Hyperbolic
- C. Parabolic
- D. None of these
Explanation
With uniform internal heat generation in a cylinder, the radial conduction equation gives temperature varying with the square of radius. The resulting temperature profile is parabolic, with the maximum at the centre.
