Q1.

[Forced & Natural Convection (Nusselt, Reynolds, Prandtl) Concept 3] A solid metal sphere of radius $R_1$ with uniform internal heat generation $q_g\text{ (W/m}^3\text{)}$ has thermal conductivity $k$. What is the temperature distribution $T(r)$ within the sphere if the surface temperature is maintained at $T_s$?

(A)

$T(r) = T_s + \frac{q_g}{6k} (R_1^2 - r^2)$

(B)

$T(r) = T_s + \frac{q_g}{4k} (R_1^2 - r^2)$

(C)

$T(r) = T_s + \frac{q_g}{2k} (R_1^2 - r^2)$

(D)

$T(r) = T_s + \frac{q_g}{3k} (R_1 - r)$
