Carbon steel balls (ρ = 7830 kg/m3, k = 64 W/m•°C, cp = 434 J/kg•°C) initially at 200°C are quenched in an oil bath at 20°C for a period of 3 minutes. If the balls have a diameter of 5 cm and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 450 W/m2•°C, the center temperature of the balls after quenching will be (Hint: Check the Biot number).

(a) 30.3°C

(b) 46.1°C

(c) 55.4°C

(d) 68.9°C

(e) 79.4°C
