Suppose that a scalar field is constant on a surface As shown in the lectures. there are two methods that one might use to obtain the normal to the surface, and they give the same direction (a) Let r(u, v) be a parametric form for the surface S. Use the vector identity to show that Our ar-λ▽u where λ is a scalar field. [Note: no marks will be awarded for simply stating that a term is zero. If it is...
Consider a spherical fuel particle with radius R. Within sphere heat is produced which varies with temperature according to the relation: S=S, [1-a(T-T.)] So is the heat produced per unit volume per unit time and "a" is a constant. Surface temperature of the sphere is kept constant at To a. By constructing a shell balance obtain an O.D.E. describing steady state temperature profile. b. By using dimensionless temperature @= T-TO S.R?/k and dimensionless position x= t/R bring the O.D.E to...
