Two concentric spheres of diameters 15 cm and 25 cm are separated by air at 1 atm pressure. The surface temperatures of the two spheres enclosing the air are T1 = 350 K and T2 = 275 K, respectively. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the inner sphere to the outer sphere by natural convection.
Two bodies of different temperature T1 and T2 if brought in thermal contact , do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature (T1+ T2)/2, Why?
