Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, 5th Edition

Chapter 13. Steady-State Conduction

13.0 Chapter Objectives

On completion of this chapter, a student should be able to:

• Solve steady-state conduction problems for each of the three common geometries (plane, cylinder, and sphere)

• Solve problems in which heat is transferred by conduction and convection in different materials/fluids in series or in parallel

• Derive equations for conduction in multilayer cylinders to solve heat-transfer problems

• Derive and solve conduction problems with a uniformly distributed heat source

• Use graphical and numerical methods to solve two-dimensional steady-state conduction problems
