Aspherical container of inner radius r1 2 m, outer
radius r2 2.1 m, and thermal conductivity k 30 W/m · °C is filled
with iced water at 0°C. The container is gaining heat by convection
from the surrounding air at T
25°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h 18 W/m2 · °C. Assuming
the inner surface temperature of the container to be 0°C, (a)
express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for
steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b)
obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container
by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the rate of
heat gain to the iced water
