A spherical tank of 3 m diameter contains a gas at -60°C. Insulation with a thermal conductivity of k=0.06 W/m.k and thickness 250 mm is applied to the tank, the outer surface of the insulation is subjected to the fluid Too-20 °C, hoo-6 W/m².k. Determine the rate of heat transfer and find the temperature at radial position r=1.687 m.
