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
-
- 0.031
- 0.077
- 0.17
- 0.34
Correct Option: B
Given data:
d1 = 0.03 m
∴ r1 | = | = 0.015 m | ||
2 | 2 |
d2 = .05 m
∴ r2 = .025 m
K = 1.05 | mK |

2 × 3.14 × 1.05 × 1 | .015 |
= 0.077 W/m
