In order to cool down a hot steel sphere (its diameter is 5 cm), CO2 gas is blown over it through a pipe with a diameter of 10 cm. The CO2 gas is kept at atmospheric pressure while moving through a smooth pipe at a speed of 6 m/sec. The gas temperature entering the pipe is 300K and exiting the pipe is 340 K. The pipe temperature at the entrance is 350K and at the exit is 550K. The sphere is located just about the pipe exit. Find the convective heat transfer coefficient of the gas moving in the pipe, the heat transfer rate at the pipe and the pipe length. What is the surface temperature of the sphere if the heat transfer rate between the sphere and the gas is 7W and its surface temperature is higher than the gas?
