A spherical ball (15 cm in diameter) with a density of 1000 kg/m³, specific heat capacity of 4180 J/kg-K and thermal conductivity of 0.62 W/m-K is removed from an oven at a uniform temperature of 150 °C. The ball is then left to cool down in steady air at 10 °C. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for this process and the time for the surface of the ball to drop to 20 °C. Use the following equation to solve this problem (characteristic dimension of the sphere is the diameter). 0.589 · Ra* Nu = 2+ 0.469 16 Pr

John is employed by a new food processing plant where eggs are to be boiled in large quantities to produce egg salad. John has been assigned the task of determining the minimum cooking time for the eggs, utilizing his vast knowledge of heat transfer. As a basis of calculation, he assumed that the eggs are perfect spheres with a diameter of 5 cm and uniform material properties (r =1000kg/m'; Cp = 3300 J/(kg K) and k=0.75 W/(m-K)). The eggs were taken from a cold storage room at 5°C and immediately put into pots of boiling water at 100°C. The convective heat transfer coefficient of the water is h = 1500 W/m°K. For health safety reasons, the plant requires that the entire egg must be at a temperature above 75°C for at least 20 seconds in order for the cooking process to be complete. a. What is the minimum time necessary to cook the egg to company specifications? b. In the testing lab, John forgot to remove a batch of eggs, and they remained in the cooking pot long enough to reach a…

A food product with 73% moisture content in a 7 cm diameter can wants to be frozen. The density of the product is 970 kg / m³, the thermal conductivity is 1.2 W / (m K), and the initial freezing temperature is -2 ° C. After 11 hours in the freezing medium -30 ° C, the product temperature becomes -10 ° C. Estimate the convection heat transfer coefficient of the freezing medium. Assume the can as an infinite cylinder. h = W / (m² K).

Number 3 A food product with 80% moisture content in a 7 cm diameter can wants to be frozen.
