Exercises Problem 4 Heat Transfer

The document contains two heat transfer problems involving hollow spheres. Problem 1 involves calculating the outside surface temperature of a hollow sphere given its inner radius, outer radius, thermal conductivity, and internal heat. It then calculates the outer surface temperature if an insulating layer is added. Problem 2 calculates the heat loss from a hollow sphere based on its inner and outer surface areas, given the internal and external temperatures and thermal conductivity.

Problem No. 1:
A hollow sphere with inner radius of 7.62 cm; outer radius of 12.7 cm; k = 46.14 W/mK
and inside temperature of 426.7 deg C. If the heat from the sphere is 439.6 W, what is
the outside surface temperature of sphere? If a 1 -in layer of insulation (k = 0.2 W/mK)
is wrapped on the outside surface of the sphere, what will be the outer surface
temperature of magnesia? All other data remain the same.
