An ice chest is constructed of Styrofoam (k =0.033 W/m・◦C) with inside dimensions of 27 cm x 42 cm x 105 cm. The wall thickness is 5.2 cm. The outside of the chest is exposed to air at 26 ◦C with convective heat transfer coefficient, h =10 W/m2・◦C. If the chest is completely filled with ice, estimate the time required for the ice to completely melt. Write the assumptions used in the calculation of time. The enthalpy of fusion for water is 330 kJ/kg.

An ice chest is constructed of a 0.4 mm thick plain-carbon steel plate, a 1.9 cm thick layer of Styrofoam {k=0.033 W/(m-C)} and a 0.65 cm thick fiber glass liner. The cooler has inside dimensions of 25x40x100 cm. The outside of the chest is exposed to air at 25 ?C with h = 10 W/(m2C). If the chest is completely filled with ice, calculate the time for the ice to completely melt. The heat of fusion for water is 330...
