Question

In a solid sphere, a heat flow is produced by a source that generates energy at a rate of S W/m3 .

generates energy at a rate of S W/m3

throughout its volume. The radius of the sphere is R,

its thermal conductivity k and the surface of the sphere is maintained at a temperature TR. Derive an expression between the temperature and the distance from the center,

in the steady state, for:

(a) k = k0, constant.

(b) k = k0 (1 + B T) (T = temperature, k0 and B = constants).
