Combined Convection and Radiation Condition
A spherical metal ball of radius r_{0} is heated in an oven to a temperature of 600^{\circ} F throughout and is then taken out of the oven and allowed to cool in ambient air at T_{\infty} = 78^{\circ} F , as shown in Figure. The thermal conductivity of the ball material is k = 8.3 Btu / h \cdot ft \cdot{ }^{\circ} F , and the average convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the ball is evaluated to be h = 4.5 Btu / h \cdot ft ^{2} \cdot{ }^{\circ} F The emissivity of the outer surface of the ball is \varepsilon = 0.6 , and the average temperature of the surrounding surfaces is T_{\text {surr }} = 525 R . Assuming the ball is cooled uniformly from the entire outer surface, express the initial and boundary conditions for the cooling process of the ball.
