Example 14 (Temperature of a Fluid). A very long cylindrical shell is formed by two


concentric circular cylinders of different radii. A chemically reactive fluid fills the
space between the concentric cylinders as shown in green in the following figure. The

inner cylinder has a radius of 1 and is thermally insulated, while the outer cylinder
has a radius of 2 and is maintained at a constant temperature T0 . The rate of heat
generation in the fluid due to the chemical reactions is proportional to T /r2 , where
T (r) is the temperature of the fluid within the space bounded between the cylinders
defined by 1 < r < 2. Under these conditions the temperature of the fluid is defined
by the following boundary-value problem:

1
 dT  T dT
r r dr = r2 for 1 < r < 2, dr r=1 = 0, T (2) = T0 .

Find the temperature distribution T (r) within the fluid. Also, find the minimum and
maximum values of T (r) on the interval defined by 1 1 ≤ r ≤ 2. Why do these values
make intuitive sense?
