Answer the problem "If the plant wants to heat the half-sphere of the previous problem keeping
it on an insulated surface as shown in Fig. 2..." (use the other problem as reference)

A processing plant is convectively heating a solid half-sphere of radius of
12 cm made of pure aluminum (k
237 W/m-K) by placing it on an
insulated surface as shown in Fig. 1. It is exposed to hot exhaust gas
at 300°C with a convection coefficient of 180 W/m².K. Is the lumped
capacitance approximation valid?

If the plant wants to heat the half-sphere of the previous problem keeping
it on an insulated surface as shown in Fig. 2, what is the maximum possible
convection coefficient allowed to keep the temperature of the half-sphere
uniform during the heating process?
