Two models of a sphere were considered: (1) a sphere with a rigid interface and (2) a sphere with a mobile interface and internal circulation. The fluid flow was considered axisymmetric, viscous, steady, and incompressible. The heat balance equations were solved numerically. The present computations focused on the conditions when the external resistance to heat transfer is negligible. %8 2018-05-18
