A cylinder of radius ro, length L, and thermal conductivity k is immersed in a fluid of convection coefficient h and unknown temperature T. At a certain instant the temperature distribution in the cylinder is T(r) a br2 , where a and b are constants. Obtain expressions for the heat transfer rate at ro and the fluid temperature.
