Heat is being generated in a fuel element at a volumetric heat generation rate of q′′′ = 1300 kW/m3. The fuel element is a rectangular parallelepiped of thickness 2 cm with a height of 2 m and width of 1 m. The fuel thermal conductivity is k = 3.5 W/m·C. Find the rate of heat transfer from the fuel element at steady state condition. [Ans.: 52 kW].
