Answer: The total rate of heat transfer from the container to its surroundings ignoring radiation is 332.67 W.
Explanation:
Given: Inner diameter = 0.9 m
q = 872 [tex]W/m^{3}[/tex]
Now, radii is calculated as follows.
[tex]r = \frac{diameter}{2}\\= \frac{0.9}{2}\\= 0.45 m[/tex]
Hence, the rate of heat transfer is as follows.
[tex]Q = q \times V[/tex]
where,
V = volume of sphere = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]Q = q \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\= 872 W/m^{3} \times \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.45 m)^{3}\\= 332.67 W[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the total rate of heat transfer from the container to its surroundings ignoring radiation is 332.67 W.
