Heat Conduction in a Cylinder

Created using ANSYS 13.0

Problem Specification

Consider a hollow cylinder of inner radius, r_i=1.75 inches, and outer radius r_o=3.25 inches. The length of the cylinder is 10 feet and the coefficient of heat transfer is 0.04Btu/(h.ftF). The temperature of the the pipe at the inner radius is 400 degrees Fahrenheit and the temperature of the pipe at the outer radius is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This is illustrated in the figure below.

...

Using ANSYS find the temperature throughout the pipe, the total heat flux, and the directional heat flux.
