prescribed dimensions and material.
FIND: (a) Governing equation for variation of wall temperature with time. Initial rate of temperature

(c) Parametric calculations were performed using the IHT First Law Model for an Isothermal Hollow
Sphere. As shown below, there is a sharp increase in temperature with decreasing values of h < 1000
W/m2⋅K. For T > 380 K, boiling will occur at the canister surface, and for T > 410 K a condition known
as film boiling (Chapter 10) will occur. The condition corresponds to a precipitous reduction in h and
increase in T.

Although the canister remains well below the melting point of stainless steel for h = 100 W/m2⋅K, boiling
should be avoided, in which case the convection coefficient should be maintained at h > 1000 W/m2⋅K.
COMMENTS: The governing equation of part (a) is a first order, nonhomogenous differential equation
