Given the following information:
Red giants derive their energy not from nuclear fusion of hydrogen, but by fusion of helium. Specifically, a reaction where 3 helium nuclei fuse into 1 carbon nucleus.
The mass of a helium nucleus is 6.645x10-27 kg, and the mass of a carbon nucleus is 1.9922x10-26 kg
The mass-energy relation is famously: E = mc2
1) This is the mass that is converted into energy, and we can figure out how much energy that is by using Einstein's famous equation:
E = mc2
c = 3 x 108 m/s
Plug the mass difference (∆m) into the equation above, and find the energy released in units of Joules (1 J = 1 kg*m2/s2).
Submit your answer as the coefficient (Y) of the below scientific notation expression:
Y x 10-12 Joules per one fusion reaction

Athin electrical heater is inserted between a long circular rod and a concentric tube with inner and outer radii of 20 and 40 mm. the rod (a) has a thermal conductivity of ka = 0.15 w/(m*k), while the tube (b) has a thermal conductivity of kb = 0.8 w/(m*k) and its outer surface is subjected to convection with a fluid of temperature t= -15°c and heat transfer coefficient 60 w/(m2 *k). the thermal contact resistance between the cylinder surfaces and the heater is negligible. (a) determine the electrical power per unit length of the cylinders (w/m) that is required to maintain the outer surface of cylinder b at 15°c. (b) what is the temperature at the center of cylinder a?
