Estimate the heat transfer from a 40 W incandescent bulb at 125 °C to 25 °C in quiescent air. Approximate the bulb as a 50 mm diameter sphere. The approximate correlation for the convection coefficient is Nu = 0.60 (Gr Pr) 0.25, where the different parameters are evaluated at the mean film temperature. The characteristics length is the sphere's diameter.
