A 5-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1.5-cm-thick stainless steel (k = 15 W/m-°C) is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located in a room whose temperature is 30°C. The walls of the room are also at 30°C. The outer surface of the tank is gray (emissivity = 0.9), and heat transfer between the outer surface of the tank and the surroundings is by natural convection and radiation. The convection heat transfer coefficients at the inner and the outer surfaces of the tank are 80 W/m²-°C and 10 W/m²-°C, respectively. Determine the amount of ice at 0°C that melts during a 24-h period. The heat of fusion of water at atmospheric pressure is hfg = 333.7 kJ/kg.\ ANSWER:_____kg
