Concept explainers

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

Question

A radioactive sphere of 20-cm diameter generates heat at the rate of 300 W. It is cooled by placing
in a cold inert fluid. The fluid temperature is –20°C. At steady state, the surface temperature of
the sphere was found to be 20°C. What is the heat transfer rate from the sphere?
