A cylindrical nuclear fuel element is 10.16 cm long and 10.77 cm in diameter. The fuel generates heat uniformly at a rate of 51.7
 10³
kJ/sm³: The fuel is placed in an environment having a temperature of 360 K with a surface coefficient of 4540 W/m²
K. The fuel material has k
 33:9 W/mK. For the situation described evaluate the following at steady state:

a. The temperature profile as a function of radial position;

b. The maximum fuel temperature;

c. The surface temperature.

End effects may be neglected.
