3. A large, 5-cm thick plate of pure aluminum initially at a uniform temperature of 200°C is suddenly exposed to a convection environment in which the fluid temperature is 50°C and the heat- transfer coefficient is 1200 W/ m K. Calculate the temperature of the plate at a depth of 1.5 cm from one of the surfaces after 3 min. How much heat is lost from the plate during this time? Ans: Tplate = plane
4-79 White potatoes (k0.50 W/m-K and 0.13 X 10-6 m/s) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 25°C and have an average diameter of 6 cm are to be cooled by refrigerated air at 2°C flowing at a velocity of 4 m/s. The average heat transfer coefficient between the potatoes and the air is experimentally determined to be 19 W/m2.K Determine how long t wl take for the center temperature of the potatoes to drop to 6°C. Also, determine...
The heat transfer coefficient for hydrogen flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature–time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 20.0 mm in diameter, is at 70°C before it is inserted into the gas stream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 50°C 97 s after the sphere is inserted into the hydrogen. Find a) What is the value of the specific...
The heat transfer coefficient for hydrogen flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature–time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 20.0 mm in diameter, is at 90°C before it is inserted into the gas stream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 40°C 97 s after the sphere is inserted into the hydrogen. Step 1 What is the value of the specific...

In order to continue on in the manufacturing process, the temperature at the center of the ball must be 70°C. (μ. = 1.872*10-5 kg m-s). The air You mav assume that the properties of air may bem odeled as V = 1.608...
A lumped sphere has an initial temperature Ti = 0 oC and the following properties: A = 1 m2 , m = 0.1 kg, c = 100 J/(kg oC). Suddenly, the sphere surface has been exposed to a uniform heat flux qw = 30000 W/m2 and also exposed to convection to a cold air that has h = 50 (W/m2 oC) and Tꝏ = 0 oC. If the sphere behavior is described by dT/dt + β T = λ ;...
7. (20 pts) A sphere with 30 mm in diameter initially at 800 K is quenched in a large bath having a constant temperature of 320 K with a convection heat transfer of 75 W/m2.K. The thermophysical properties of the sphere material are: p=400 kg/mº, c=1600 J/kg-K, and k=1.7 W/mK. (Use characteristic length Lc=VIA to determine applicability of lumped method; Use radius of the sphere for one term approximation) a) Calculate the time required for the surface of the sphere...
