Radioactive wastes (krw = 20 W/m•K) are stored in a spherical stainless steel container (kss 15 W/m:K) with an inner radius r¡ = 0.5 m and outer radius r, = 0.65 m. Heat is generated within the wastes at a uniform volumetric rate of ġ = 105 w/m³. The outer surface of the stainless steel container is exposed to a water flow for which the temperature is To = 25°C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is h = 1200 W/m2-K. Assume steady-state one- %3D dimensional radial heat transfer. (a) Determine the rate of heat transfer. (b) Evaluate the outer surface temperature of the stainless steel Tso.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Radioactive wastes (\(k_{rw} = 20 \, \text{W/m}\cdot\text{K}\)) are stored in a spherical stainless steel container (\(k_{ss} = 15 \, \text{W/m}\cdot\text{K}\)) with an inner radius \(r_i = 0.5 \, \text{m}\) and outer radius \(r_o = 0.65 \, \text{m}\). Heat is generated within the wastes at a uniform volumetric rate of \(\dot{q} = 10^5 \, \text{W/m}^3\). The outer surface of the stainless steel container is exposed to a water flow for which the temperature is \(T_\infty = 25^\circ\text{C}\) and the convection heat transfer coefficient is \(h = 1200 \, \text{W/m}^2\cdot\text{K}\). Assume steady-state one-dimensional radial heat transfer.
(a) Determine the rate of heat transfer.
(b) Evaluate the outer surface temperature of the stainless steel \(T_{so}\).
