Problem:
A hollow sphere with inner radius of 7.62 cm, outer radius of 12.7 cm and inside surface
𝑊
temp of 426.7 deg C is made of material with thermal conductivity of 46.15 𝑚 𝐾 . If the
outside surface temp is 423 deg C, find the heat loss from the sphere in W/m2 based on
the inside surface area and again based on the outer surface area.
