Question
(a) A liquid with known properties (i.e. density, viscosity, etc. ) is contained in the space Ra <r < R, between
two long cylinders. (The cylinders have the same axis, the inner cylinder has radius R, while R, is the radius of the
outer cylinder.) At time t = 0 the temperature is everywhere To. For any time t> 0 the temperature of the outer
cylinder (r = Ro) is T; > Tọ. Provide an estimate for the time required to reach steady state (i.c. the time required
for the diffusion penetration to reach the surface of the inner cylinder).
(b) Define the thermal diffusivity a and its units. To answer the "units question", use only the fundamental units:
length L, mass M, time T and temperature e. For example, the units for the velocity are L/T (and not m/sec or
miles/hour).
(e) You study a problem which involves momentum and energy transfer. Under which condition(s) the problem
velocity and temperature are identical, i.e. are given by the same equation if we scale both the velocity and the
temperature with their corresponding scales?
