Solution to the differential equation for combined radiative and convective cooling for a heated sphere
Abstract
A solution is presented for the differential equation relating the combined effects of radiative and forced convective cooling for a heated sphere. The equation has the form where T and t are the variables temperature and time, respectively, and K sub o, T sub o, and H are constants. The solution can be used as a guideline for the design and understanding of space processing phenomena.
