  1. A long glass cylinder of inner diameter = 0.03 m and outer diameter = 0.05 m carries hot fluid inside. If the thermal conductivity of glass = 1.05 W/mK, the thermal resistance (K/W) per unit length of the cylinder is
    1. 0.031
    2. 0.077
    3. 0.17
    4. 0.34
Correct Option: B

Given data:
d1 = 0.03 m

∴ r1
d1
=
0.3
= 0.015 m

d2 = .05 m
∴ r2 = .025 m
K = 1.05
