A spherical shell satellite (3-m-OD, 1.25-cm-thick stainless steel walls) re-enters the atmosphere from outer space. If its original temperature is 38°C, the effective average temperature of the atmosphere is 1093°C, and the effective heat transfer coefficient is 115 W/(m2 °C), estimate the temperature of the shell after reentry, assuming the time of reentry is 10 min and the interior of the shell is evacuated.

GIVEN
• A spherical stainless steel satellite reentering the atmosphere
• Outside diameter (D) = 3 m
• Wall thickness (L) = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m
• Its original temperature (To) = 38°C
• The effective temperature of the atmosphere (T?) = 1093°C
• The effective heat transfer coefficient ch = 115 W/(m2 °C)
• The time of reentry (tr) = 10 min = 600 s
• The interior of the shell is evacuated
FIND
• The temperature of the shell after reentry (Tf)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Exterior heat transfer is uniform over the shell
• Assume radiation heat transfer is allowed for in the heat transfer coefficient
