Problem 2.257

The thermal power of density \(w\) is generated uniformly inside a uniform sphere of radius \(R\) and heat conductivity coefficient \(x .\) Find the temperature distribution in the sphere provided the steady-state temperature at its surface is equal to \(\dot{T}_{0}\).

Reveal Answer
T=T0+(R2r2)w/6xT=T_{0}+\left(R^{2}-r^{2}\right) w / 6 x
