Ahollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. the inner and outer radii of the sphere are 0.18 and 0.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°c. in a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of 0.15 m. the system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°c and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 w/m2 ⋅ k. if 80 w are dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
