Abstract: Fundamental temperature solutions in closed form of composite spherical bodies are given for mixed and time-dependent boundary conditions. Solid and hollow spherical bodies are included as further examples. The solution requires calculating the roots of certain transcendental equations. A method is developed to find the roots rapidly. As a practical application, the two-layer composite solution is used to determine the available fuel mass of an orbiting spacecraft.
