Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.105P
Problem 4.9 addressed radioactive wastes stored underground in a spherical container. Because of uncertainty in the thermal properties of the soil, it is desired to measure the steady-state temperature using a test container (identical to the real container) that is equipped with internal electrical heaters. Estimate how long it will take the test container to come within 10°C of its steady-state value, assuming it is buried very far underground. Use the soil properties from Table A.3 in your analysis.
