Unsteady state heat conduction occurs, when_______________?
Correct answer: B. Temperature distribution is dependent on time
- A. Temperature distribution is independent of time
- B. Temperature distribution is dependent on time
- C. Heat flows in one direction only
- D. Three dimensional heat flow is concerned
Explanation
Unsteady or transient conduction is identified by a temperature field that changes with time, even if heat flows in only one direction. A time-independent temperature distribution represents steady-state conduction.

A long iron rod initially at a temperature of 20°C has one end dipped in boiling water (100°C) at time, t = 0. The curved surface of the rod is insulated so that heat conduction is one dimensional in the axial direction. The temperature at a distance 100 mm from the dipped end becomes 40°C at time, t = 200 s. The same temperature is achieved at a distance of 200 mm from the dipped end at time ___________________?
