A) they are brown dwarfs that were captured by their parent stars
B) these are massive terrestrial planets that formed close to their parent stars
C) they are Jovian planets that were spun out from their rapidly spinning parent stars
D) the Jovian planets formed farther out and then migrated inward

Assume that the inner cylinder in Problem 7.40 is a heat source consisting of an aluminum-clad rod of uranium, 5-cm-OD and 2-m-long. Estimate the heat flux that raises the temperature of the bismuth 40°C and the maximum center and surface temperatures necessary to transfer heat at this rate.

GIVEN
Liquid bismuth flowing through an annulus
Annulus inside diameter (Di) = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Annulus outside diameter (Do) = 6.1 cm = 0.061 m
Bismuth velocity (V) = 4.5 m/s
Bismuth temperature (Tb) = 316°C
Inner cylinder is an aluminum clad uranium heat source
Cylinder length (L) = 2 m
From Problem 7.40: c h
26,800 W/(m2 K)
FIND
(a) The heat flux (QG/At) necessary to raise the bismuth temperature 40°C, and
(b) The maximum center (Tu,o) and surface (Tu,ro) temperatures of the uranium
ASSUMPTIONS
Steady state
The Bismuth temperature given is the bulk Bismuth temperature
Thermal resistance of the aluminum is negligible
Thickness of the aluminum is negligible
