Given: r_i = 0.5 m, r_o = 0.6 m, k = 18 W/m·K, T_i = 400°C, T_o = 100°C
Spherical conduction: Q = 4 * n * k * (T_i - T_o) / (1/r_i - 1/r_o)
Q = 4 * n * 18 * (400-100) / (1/0.5 - 1/0.6) = 2261.95 * 300 / (2 - 1.667)
Q = 678,585 / 0.333 = 2,038,500 W
Answer: Q = 2.04 MW

Q = (4 * * 18 * (400 - 100)) / ((1/0.5) - (1/0.6)).
Q = (4 * * 18 * 300) / (2 - 1.6666666666666667)
Q = (67858.4013) / (0.3333333333333333)
Q 203575.20 W.
Therefore, the heat transfer rate through the hollow sphere is approximately 203.58 kW.
