Identify outside surface temperature of the container


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: Radioactive wastes are temporarily stored in a spherical container, the center of which is buried a distance of 10 m below the earth's surface. The outside diameter of the container is 2 m, and 500 W of heat are released as a result of the radioactive decay process. If the soil surface temperature is 20°C, what is the outside surface temperature of the container under steady-state conditions? On a sketch of the soil-container system drawn to scale, show representative isotherms and heat flow lines in the soil.
