Pasta time! You are making pesto for your pasta and have a cylindrical measuring cup 10.0 cm high made of ordinary glass (β = 2.7 × 10−5(C°)−1) that is filled with olive oil (β = 6.8 × 10−4(C°)−1) to a height of 1.00 mm below the top of the cup. Initially, the cup and oil are at a kitchen temperature of 22.0°C. You get a phone call and forget about the olive oil, which you inadvertently leave on the hot stove. The cup and oil heat up slowly and have a common temperature. At what temperature will the olive oil start to spill out of the cup?

It is made of material with thermal conductivity k = 0.800 W/m C. The interior is maintained at temperature 5C and the exterior at 40C. After an interval of time, the shell reaches a steady state with the temperature at each point within it remaining constant in time. (a) Explain why the rate of energy transfer P must be the same through each spherical surface, of radius r, within the shell and must satisfy dTdr=P4kr2 (b) Next, prove that 5dT=P4k0.030.07r2dr where T is in degrees Celsius and r is in meters.
