A 2.2-m·diameter spherical steel tank filled with iced water at 0°C is buried underground...

A 2.2-m·diameter spherical steel tank filled with iced water at 0°C is buried underground at a location where the thermal conductivity of the soil is k = 0.55 W/m·K. The distance between the tank center and the ground surface is 2.4 m. For ground surface temperature of 18°C, determine the rate of heat transfer to the iced water in the tank. What would your answer be if the soil temperature were 18°C and the ground surface were insulated?
