Question:

Consider a spherical reactor of 5-cm diameter operating at steady condition has a temperature variation that can be expressed in the form of T(r) = a - br2, where a = 850°C and b = 5 × 105 K/m2. The reactor is made of material with c = 200 J/kg·°C, k 5 40 W/m·K, r = 9000 kg/m3. If the heat generation of reactor is suddenly set to 9 MW/m3, determine the time rate of temperature change in the reactor. Is the heat generation of reactor suddenly increased or decreased to 9 MW/m3 from its steady operating condition?
