Heat-Transfer-from-Extended-Surfaces

A centrifugal pump which circulates a hot liquid metal at 500 degree Celsius is driven by a 3600 rpm electric motor. The motor is coupled to pump impeller by a horizontal steel shaft of dia 25 mm. Let us assume motor temperature as 60 degree Celsius with ambient air at 25 degree Celsius, what length of shaft should be specified between motor and pump? It may be presumed that rmal conductivity of shaft material is 35W/m K and that convective film coefficient between steel shaft and ambient air is 15.7W/square m K
