Consider a spherical vessel filled with a substance which is generating heat at a uniform rate of 10^5 W/m^3. The substance has a thermal conductivity of 20 W/mK, and the vessel has a thermal conductivity of 15 W/mK.

The inner radius of the container is 0.5m and the outer radius is 0.6 m.

The container is surrounded by a fluid with convection coefficient of 1000 W/m^2K and T_inf = 25 Celsius.

Determine the temperature distribution T(r) by solving the differential equation, and evaluating the given boundary conditions

Consider an engine in which the working substance is 1.23 mol of an ideal gas for which γ = 1.41. The engine runs reversibly in the cycle shown on the PVdiagram (see figure below). The cycle consists of an isobaric (constant pressure) expansion a at a pressure of 15.0 atm, during which the temperature of the gas increases from 300 K to 600 K, followed by an isothermal expansion b until its pressure becomes 3.00 atm. Next is an isobaric...
