Consider one-dimensional transient conduction with a convection boundary condition in which the ambient temperature near the surface is a function of time. Determine the energy balance equation for the boundary control volume. How would the solution method need to be modified to accommodate this complexity?

Two radioactive isotopes, X and Y, both decay to stable products. The half-life of X is about a day, while that of Y is about a week
Suppose a radioactive sample consists of a mixture of these two nuclides. If the mixture is such that the activities arising from X and Y are initially equal, then a few days later the activity of the sample will be due A) predominantly to Y. B) to X and Y equally. C) predominantly to X. D) entirely to Y.
