Question: Consider a composite sphere with the cross section shown to the right. Section A has radius r A , uniform thermal conductivity k A ,

Consider a composite sphere with the cross section shown
to the right. Section A has radius rA, uniform thermal
conductivity kA, and uniform internal heat generation q.
Section B has radius rB and uniform thermal conductivity kB.
Section C has radius rc and uniform thermal conductivity kc .
There is not internal heat generation in C or B. The interface
between B and C has thermal resistance Rt,BC. Air with
temperature T is blown over the sphere and the associated
convection heat transfer coefficient is h. There is also
thermal radiation from the surface, with TSUR=T and
emissivity . What is the heat flux (q") at the outer surface of
the sphere? You may assume 1D heat transfer in the radial
direction and steady state conditions. Give your answer in
terms of known values given in the question
Consider a composite sphere with the cross
