Experiments have been performed on the temperature distribution in a homogeneous long cylinder (0.1 m diameter, thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/(m K) with uniform internal heat generation. By dimensional analysis, determine the relation between the steady-state temperature at the center of the cylinder Tc the diameter, the thermal conductivity, and the rate of heat generation. Take the temperature at the surface as you datum.
