A slab of meat 25.4 mm thick originally at a uniform temperature of 10°C is to be cooked from both sides until the center reach 121°C in an oven at 177°C. The convection coefficient can be assumed constant at 25.6 W/m2.K. Neglect any latent heat changes and calculate the time required. The thermal conductivity is 0.69 W/m².K and the thermal diffusivity is 5.85x10-4 m²/h.

Solve the following exercise using the infinity plate method under convection. A large thermoplastic sheet, 10 mm thick, at an initial temperature of 20°C (293K), must be heated in an oven to mold it. The oven temperature is maintained at 100°C (373K), the maximum temperature to which the plastic can be subjected, and it is necessary to ensure that the temperature throughout the sheet reaches a minimum of 80°C (353 K) . Calculate the minimum time during which the foil...

An aluminum transmission line with a diameter of 20 mm has an electrical resistance of R'elec= 2.636 × 10-4 Ω/m and carries a current of 700 A. The line is subjected to frequent and severe cross winds, increasing the probability of contact between adjacent lines, thereby causing sparks and creating a potential fire hazard for nearby vegetation. The remedy is to insulate the line, but with the adverse effect of increasing the conductor operating temperature. (a) Calculate the conductor temperature...

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...
