A cryogenic fluid is stored in a 0.3-m-diameter spherical container in still air. If the convection heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the container and the air is 6.8 W/(m2 K), the temperature of the air is 27°C and the temperature of the surface of the sphere is –183°C, determine the rate of heat transfer by convection.
