Exercises Problem 4 Heat Transfer

The document contains two heat transfer problems involving hollow spheres. In problem 1, the student is asked to calculate the outer surface temperature of a hollow sphere and the temperature after adding insulation. They determine the outer surface temperature is 422.72°C and the temperature after insulation is added is 193.18°C. In problem 2, the student calculates the heat loss from a hollow sphere based on the inner and outer surface areas, determining the heat losses are 2884.38 W/m^2 and 1775 W/m^2, respectively.

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.
