A metal sphere with radius 3.20 cm is suspended in a large metal box with interior walls that are maintained at 30.0°C. A small electric heater is embedded in the sphere. Heat energy must be supplied to the sphere at the rate of 0.660 J/s to maintain the sphere at a constant temperature of 41.0°C. (a) What is the emissivity of the metal sphere? (b) What power input to the sphere is required to maintain it at 82.0°C? What is the ratio of the power required for 82.0°C to the power required for 41.0°C? How does this ratio compare with 24?

An Introduction to Thermal Physics
- (a) The inside of a hollow cylinder is maintained at a temperature Ta, and the outside is at a lower temperature, Tb (Fig. P19.45). The wall of the cylinder has a thermal conductivity k. Ignoring end effects, show that the rate of energy conduction from the inner surface to the outer surface in the radial direction is dQdt=2Lk[TaTbln(b/a)] Suggestions: The temperature gradient is dT/dr. A radial energy current passes through a concentric cylinder of area 2rL. (b) The passenger section of a jet airliner is in the shape of a cylindrical tube with a length of 35.0 m and an inner radius of 2.50 m. Its walls are lined with an insulating material 6.00 cm in thickness and having a thermal conductivity of 4.00 105 cal/s cm C. A heater must maintain the interior temperature at 25.0C while the outside temperature is 35.0C. What power must be supplied to the heater?

The inside surface temperature is 15.0 C, while that on the outside is 10.0 OC. (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.)
