Sputnik 1, the first satellite launched into space by the Russians in 1957, is a 2-shell aluminum alloy (2024-T6) sphere. The highly polished outer shell (seeing deep space) is 585 mm in diameter, and has thickness of 1 mm (ID = 583 mm). The inside shell is 2 mm thick. There is a contact resistance between the two aluminum shells of value Rc"= 200 m2·K/W. Inside the shell, there is a radio unit that is uniformly dissipating thermal energy of Qradio = 1 W. Determine the steady-state temperature on the inner shell’s inner wall (ignore the effects of the antennas). Hint: You can use a radiation heat transfer coefficient hr = εσTshell3

Sputnik 1, the first satellite launched into space by the Russians in 1957, is a 2-shell aluminum alloy (2024-T6) sphere. The highly polished outer shell (seeing deep space) is 585 mm in diameter, and has thickness of 1 mm (ID = 583 mm). The inside shell is 2 mm thick. There is a contact resistance between the two aluminum shells of value Rc"= 200 m2·K/W. Inside the shell, there is a radio unit that is uniformly dissipating thermal energy of Qradio = 1 W. Determine the steady-state temperature on the inner shell’s inner wall (ignore the effects of the antennas).
