The Biot number during a heat transfer process between a sphere and its surroundings is determined to be 0.02. Would you use lumped system analysis or the transient temperature charts when determining the midpoint temperature of the sphere? Why?

If the temperature at the point $(x, y, z)$ is $T=x y z$, find the hortest point (or points) on the surface of the sphere $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=12$, and find the temperature there.

A stainless-steel sphere [k = 16 W/m·°C] having a diameter of 4 cm is exposed to a convection environment at 20°C, h = 15 W/m^2·°C. Heat is generated uniformly in the sphere at the rate of 1.0 MW/m^3. Calculate the steady-state temperature for the center of the sphere.

Find the steady-state temperature in the region between two spheres $r=1$ and $r=2$ if the surface of the outer sphere has its upper half held at $100^{\circ}$ and its lower half at $-100^{\circ}$ and these temperatures are reversed for the inner sphere. Hint: See Problem 7.14. Here you uill need to find two Legendre series (when $r=1$ and when $r=2$ ) and solve for $a_{1}$ and $b_{1}$.
