Question

Radioactive wastes are pack

Radioactive wastes are packed in a thin-walled spherical container. The wastes generate thermal
energy nonuniformly according to the relation ġ = 4, 1-(r/r.)* | where ġ is the local rate of
energy generation per unit volume, ġ, is a constant, and r, is the radius of the container. Steady-
state conditions are maintained by submerging the container in a liquid that is at T, and provides
a uniform convection coefficient h.

Determine the temperature distribution, T(r), in the container. Express your result in terms of
4,, r,, T, , h, and the thermal conductivity k of the radioactive wastes.
