A hot dog can be considered to be a cylinder 5 in long and 0.8 in in diameter whose properties are ρ = 61.2 lbm/ft3, cp = 0.93 Btu/lbm · °F, k = 0.44 Btu/ h · ft · °F, and α = 0.0077 ft2/h. A hot dog initially at 40°F is dropped into boiling water at 212°F. If the heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the hot dog is estimated to be 120 Btu/h · ft2 · °F, determine the center temperature of the hot dog after 5, 10, and 15 min by treating the hot dog as (a) a finite cylinder and (b) an infinitely long cylinder.
