Question: Q 3 A 4 - m m diameter spherical ball at 5 0 C is covered by a 1 - mm - thick plastic insulation

Q3
A 4-mm diameter spherical ball at 50C is covered by a 1-mm-thick plastic insulation with thermal conductivity, k=0.13Wm.K. The ball is exposed to a medium at 15C with a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 20Wm2K. Evaluate if the plastic insulation on the ball will help or hurt heat transfer from the ball.
