Question:

The wall of a spherical tank of 1-m diameter contains an exothermic chemical reaction and is at 200°C when the ambient air temperature is 25°C. What thickness of urethane foam is required to reduce the exterior temperature to 40°C, assuming the convection coefficient is 20 W/m2 ∙ K for both situations? What is the percentage reduction in heat rate achieved by using the insulation?
