Heat is generated uniformly in the fuel rod of a nuclear reactor. The rod has a long, hollow cylindrical shape with its inner and outer surfaces at temperature
Ground source heat pumps operate by using a liquid rather than ambient air, as the heat source (or sink) for winter heating (or summer cooling)
For laminar free convection from a heated vertical surface, the local convection coefficient may be expressed as hx = Cx-1/4, where h, is the coefficient
For laminar flow over a flat plate, the local heat transfer coefficient h. is known to vary as x-1/2, where x is the distance from the leading edge (x = 0)
