A 2-m-diameter thin-walled stainless steel spherical tank is filled with chemicals undergoing a reaction. The reaction releases heat through the tank, where the tank outer surface temperature is 50°C and is exposed to air at 20°C. The stainless steel surface of the tank has an emissivity of 0.35. Determine the rate of heat release from the chemical reaction inside the tank. Is the given emissivity value reasonable for a stainless steel surface? What is the contribution of natural convection to the overall rate of heat loss at the tank surface?

Question

A 2-m-diameter thin-walled stainless steel spherical
tank is filled with chemicals undergoing a reaction. The reaction releases heat through the tank, where the tank outer
surface temperature is 50°C and is exposed to air at 20°C.
The stainless steel surface of the tank has an emissivity of 0.35.
Determine the rate of heat release from the chemical reaction
inside the tank. Is the given emissivity value reasonable for a
stainless steel surface? What is the contribution of natural convection
to the overall rate of heat loss at the tank surface?
