A hot liquid is filled in a spherical tank with an inner


Question: A hot liquid is filled in a spherical tank with an inner diameter of 3 m and a wall thickness of 3 cm. The tank wall is made of a material with a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m·K. The hot liquid in the tank causes the inner surface temperature to be 100°C, while the tank outer surface is exposed to air at 20°C and has an emissivity of 0.35. Determine the outer surface temperature of the tank. Assume that the properties of air can be evaluated at 40°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?
