A spherical container made of steel (ksteel = 15 W/m K) has a hot fluid inside at 100°C and is surrounded by cool air at 20°C. The spherical container has an inner diameter di = 20 cm and an outer diameter d2 = 24 cm. The hot fluid inside has a heat transfer coefficient of 200 W/m²-K, and the cool air outside provides a heat transfer coefficient of 100 W/m²K. Any radiation heat transfer may be neglected. Determine the rate of heat loss through the container wall.

Question
A spherical container made of steel (ksteel = 15 W/m-K) has a hot fluid inside at 100°C and
is surrounded by cool air at 20°C. The spherical container has an inner diameter di = 20
cm and an outer diameter d2 = 24 cm. The hot fluid inside has a heat transfer coefficient
of 200 W/m²K, and the cool air outside provides a heat transfer coefficient of 100
W/m²K. Any radiation heat transfer may be neglected. Determine the rate of heat loss
through the container wall.
