A copper sphere 25 cm in diameter is suspended by a fine


A copper sphere 2.5 cm in diameter is suspended by a fine wire in the center of an experimental hollow, cylindrical furnace whose inside wall is maintained uniformly at 430°C. Dry air at a temperature of 90°C and a pressure of 1.2 atm is blown steadily through the furnace at a velocity of 14 m/s. The interior surface of the furnace wall is black. The copper is slightly oxidized, and its emissivity is 0.4. Assuming that the air is completely transparent to radiation, calculate for the steady state:

(a) the convection heat transfer coefficient between the copper sphere and the air and

(b) the temperature of the sphere.
