Step-by-Step Solution: Chapter: CH6 Problem: 1P

Step 1 of 8

Write the conductance and thermal load matrices for element (1), (2) and (3). Using heat transfer from the tip’s
surface in the analysis

Here, K is thermal conductivity, A is area, l is length of the element and, h is convective heat transfer coefficient

Substitute 168 for K, for A, for l, 35 m for h in the equation.

Conductance matrix for element (1), (2), (3) and (4) is

And the thermal-load matrix for element (1), (2), (3) and (4) is

Step 2 of 8

Including the boundary condition of the tip, the conductance and load matrices for element (5) are obtained in the
following manner

Substitute 168 for K, for A, for l, 35 m for h in the equation.

Step 3 of 8

Assembly of the elements leads to the global conductance matrix and the global load matrix

Applying the base boundary conditions and nd that the nal set of linear equations,

Step 4 of 8

Because the cross-sectional area of the given n is relatively small, heat form the tip can be neglected. Under this
assumption, the elemental conductance and forcing matrices for all the elements are,

Assembly of the elements leads to the global conductance matrix and the global load matrix

Step 5 of 8

Applying the base boundary conditions we nd that the nal set of linear equations becomes

Step 6 of 8

Compared to the previous results, the nodal temperature are slightly higher because we neglected the heat loss
through the end surface of the tip.

The total heat loss Q from the n can be determined by summing the heat loss through individual elements

Heat loss at node 1 is,

Heat loss at node 2 is,

Heat loss at node 3 is,

Step 7 of 8

Heat loss at node 4 is,

Heat loss at node 5 is,

Find the total heat loss using the equation,

Substitute 1.25 W for , 0.64 W for , 0.335 W for , 0.188 W for and, 0.131 W for .

The total heat loss .

Step 8 of 8

The heat loss for 1 n is Q=2.534W

Total heat loss for an array of 50 ns = 50 × heat loss for 1 n

Total heat loss for an array of 50 ns

Total heat loss for an array of 50 ns .
