Question

A hollow aluminium sphere, with an electrical heater in the centre, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of insulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are 0.15 and 0.18 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminium maintained at 2500C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of 0.12 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20◦C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2 K. If 80 W are dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?
