Applying the Exergy Balance: Closed Systems

A thermal reservoir at 1200 K is separated from another thermal reservoir at 300 K by a cylindrical rod insulated on its lateral surfaces. At steady state, energy transfer by conduction takes place through the rod. The rod diameter is 2 cm, the length is L, and the thermal conductivity is 0.4 kW/m · K. Plot the following quantities, each in kW, versus L ranging from 0.01 to 1 m: the rate of conduction through the rod, the rates of exergy transfer accompanying heat transfer into and out of the rod, and the rate of exergy destruction. Let T0 = 300 K.
