This paper reports the free convection heat transfer from the inner surface of a sphere studied by using the integral boundary layer equations. An analysis was made for the condition that the sphere surface was cooled and the top of the sphere was a stagnation point. Approximate solutions agreed well with numerical solutions for Prandtl numbers Pr {ge} 1. The analytic results were compared with the experimental results of free convection made in a hemisphere. The Nusselt numbers of both results agreed within about 15%.
