An ordinary potato (k = 0.6 W/m.K and α = 0.13 × 10 -6 m2 /s) can be approximated as a 6-cm diameter sphere. The potato is initially at a uniform temperature of 200 C and is to be baked in an oven with air temperature of 1800 C. The average convection coefficient between the potato and the air is experimentally determined to be 15 W/m2 .K. Determine how long it will take for the surface temperature of the potato to increase to 1600 C.

In many cookbooks, it is stated that a slab of steak, roasted in a convection oven, is considered "well-done" when the center-line temperature of the slab reaches 80 °C. A slab of steak is initially at 6 °C before it is placed in the oven, in which the ambient air temperature is 175 °C. The mean convective heat transfer coefficient between the slab of steak and the air inside the oven 15 W/(m2.K) Approximate the slab of steak as a...

A household oven door of 0.6-m height and 0.7-m width reaches an average surface temperature of 32°C during operation. The temperature of ambient air is 22°C. Assuming the door has an emissivity of 0.8 and the surroundings are also at 22°C, determine the heat transfer by free convection and the heat transfer by radiation. 1) What is the volumetric thermal expansion coefficient of air at the film temperature outside the oven door, in 1/K? 2) What is the Rayleigh number...
A plate (k = 10 W/m.K) is stiffened by a series of longitudinal ribs having a rectangular cross section with length L = 8 mm and width W = 4 mm. The base of the plate is maintained at a uniform temperature Tb = 75°C, while the rib surfaces are exposed to air at a temperature of T = 25°C and a convection coefficient of h = 600 W/m2.K.

The wall of a heat exchanger separates hot water at Tin 90 C with h." 80 w/m2.K from cold water at Tout 10 C with h,ut 60 W/m2.K. The thermal conductivity of the heat exchanger is 180 W/m.K To extend the heat transfer area, two-dimensional ridges are machined on the cold side of the wall. This geometry causes non-uniform thermal stresses, which may become critical for crack initiation along the lines between two ridges. To predict thermal stresses, the temperature...
