![](sphere_q_nd.gif)
The function sphere_Q_ND(Fo, Bi) returns the non-dimensional heat transfer into a sphere whose outer surface (r=r_o) is exposed to convection. The supplied values, Fo, Bi represent Fourier number and Biot number respectively. See Section 3.5.2 of Nellis and Klein for more information.
