A 5-cm-thick beef steak is being frozen in a -30°C room. The product has 73% moisture content, density of 970 kg/m³, and thermal conductivity (frozen) of 1.1 W/(m K). Estimate the freezing time using Plank's equation. The product has an initial freezing temperature of – 1.75°C, and the movement of air in the freezing room provides a convective heat-transfer coefficient of 5 W/(m² K).

7.3 A 5-cm-thick beef steak is being frozen in a -30°C room.
The product has 73% moisture content, density of 970 kg/m,
and thermal conductivity (frozen) of 1.1 W/(m K). Estimate
the freezing time using Plank's equation. The product has an
initial freezing temperature of -1.75°C, and the movement of
air in the freezing room provides a convective heat-transfer
coefficient of 5 W/(m K).
