Consider a 2-mm-diameter sphere immersed in a fluid at 300 K and 1 atm.

(a) If the fluid around the sphere is quiescent and extensive, show that the conduction limit of heat transfer from the sphere can be expressed as NuD,cond = 2. Hint: Begin with the expression for the thermal resistance of a hollow sphere, letting r2 →∞ and then expressing the result in terms of the Nusselt number.

(b) Considering free convection, at what surface temperature will the Nusselt number be twice that for the conduction limit? Consider air and water as the fluids.

(c) Considering forced convection, at what velocity will the Nusselt number be twice that for the conduction limit? Consider air and water as the fluids.
