Radioactive material is stored in a spherical vessel with a diameter of 3.7 m, and the center of the vessel is 11 m below the ground. The vessel is surrounded by a 10.2 cm thick layer of rigid foam insulation (k = 0.026 W/m-K). The radioactive material releases heat at a rate of 1000 W/m³. The surface of the soil it's buried in (k = 2 W/m- K) is exposed to wind with a temperature of 20°C and a convection coefficient of 17 W/m³-K. What is the temperature of the surface of the tank?
