Posting it second time . Answer all else dont answer - You are using a silver spoon to stir water that just started boiling so that you can achieve a more even heat distribution in your water. The spoon is partially immersed in boiling water and a thermometer in your kitchen reads 27 °C. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 2mm × 1cm and extends 15 cm in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 W/m2 ×K. Part A : Determine the temperature difference across the exposed surface of the spoon handle. Follow the problem-solving guide on the front page. At the minimum, your analysis should answer the following questions providing detailed justifications:-What are the modes of heat transfer that the spoon is exposed to? -Is this a time dependent or steady state problem? Why or why not?-Is this a 1-D, 2-D or 3-D problem? Why or why not?- What is the thermal conductivity of the material?- The heat…

How long should it take to boil an egg? Model the egg as a sphere with radius of 2.3 cm that has properties similar to water with a density of = 1000 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity of k = 0.606 Watts/(mC) and specific heat of c = 4182 J/(kg C). Suppose that an egg is fully cooked when the temperature at the center reaches 70 C. Initially the egg is taken out of the fridge at 4 C and placed in the boiling water at 100 C. Since the egg shell is very thin assume that it quickly reaches a temperature of 100 C. The protein in the egg effectively immobilizes the water so the heat conduction is purely conduction (no convection). Plot the temperature of the egg over time and use the data tooltip in MATLAB to make your conclusion on the time it takes to cook the egg in minutes.
