A solid sphere of uniform initial temperature is heated or cooled in a finite mass of fluid, well stirred and externally insulated. Temperature continuity is assumed at the surface. Solutions are presented suitable for all values of time, radius and conductivity, and of the ratio of heat capacities of sphere and fluid. Numerical results are given, and certain mathematical relations noted.
