Boil a potato and get the center temperature close to 100C. Calculate the surface and center temperature as a function of time.

kwater= .6639 W/m*k

Cp= 866.9 J/kg*k

Rho= 933.7 kg/m^2

kpotato= .498 W/m*k

alpha(potato)= .13E-6 m^2/s

alpha(water)= 3.357E-6 m^2/s

Cpotato= 3.64 kJ/(kg*k)

We can't figure out how to find h

It's a heat transfer question. A stainless steel fin with a constant base temperature (900K) and with an insulated end. Apply convection at all cylindrical surfaces except the base and the tip. The convection coefficient, h = 50 W/(m2·K), and fluid temperature of T∞ = 300K. Plot the temperature distribution along the center axis line (T vs x). Include a contour plot across the cross section of the fin. Assume zero contact resistance between the sections. K=19.8W/m-k Cp=557J/Kg-K Rho= 7900Kg/m^3...

Consider an R-134a based freezer operating at -30°C. The surrounding temperature is at 25°C. External size of the freezer is 33.62" wide x 37.37" tall x 20.68" deep. Wall thickness of the freezer is 1" and made of polystyrene (thermal conductivity=.033 W/mK). Thermal conductivity of the wall is the same as polystyrene. For simplicity, you may assume the inner and outer convection coefficients of the freezer are both equal to 10 W/m2/K. The heat removal rate is: q(convection)=186.22 W The...
