Question 1. The temperature of a gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple
whose junction can be approximated as a 1.2-mm-diameter sphere. The properties of
the junction are k = 35 W/m. C, p = 8500kg/m*, and C,, = 320 J/kg-° C, and the heat
transfer coefficient between the junction and the gas is h = 65 W/m? © C. Determine
how long it will take for the thermocouple to read 99 percent of the initial temperature
difference,Question 2. To warm up some milk for a baby, a mother pours milk into a thin-walled
glass whose diameter is 6 cm. The height of the milk in the glass is 7 em. She then places
the glass into a large pan filled with hot water at 60°C. The milk is stirred constantly,
so that its temperature is uniform at all times. If the heat transfer coefficient between
‘the water and the glass is 12017/m? © C, determine how long it will take for the milk to
warm up from 3°C to 38°C. Take the properties of the milk to be the same as those of
water, Can the milk in this case be treated as a lumped system? Why?Question 3. Consider a 1000-W iron whose base plate is made of 0.5-em-thick aluminum
alloy 2024-16 ( p = 2770kg/m3 , C, = 875.J/kg °C, @ = 7.3x10-5m?/s). The base
plate has a surface area of 0.03m? . Initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the
ambient air at 22°C, Taking the heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the base plate
to be 12 W/m?-* C and assuming 85 percent of the heat gencrated in the resistance wires
is transferred to the plate, determine how loug it will take for the plate temperature to
reach 140°C. Is it realistic to assume the plate temperature to be uniform at all times?

0.480kJ/kg°C, and a = 3.91x10~6m?/s) having a diameter of 1.2 cm are to be quenched
in water. The balls leave the oven at a uniform temperature of 900°C and are exposed
to air at 30°C for a while before they are dropped into the water. If the temperature of
the balls is not to fall below 850°C prior to quenching and the heat transfer coefficient
in the air is 125 W/m? C, determine how long they can stand in the air before being
dropped into the water.Question 6. An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm- diameter sphere whose
properties are roughly k = 0.6 W/m-° C and @ = 0.14x10~°m?/s. The egg is initially at
a uniform temperature of 8°C and is dropped into boiling water at 97°C. Taking the
1400 W/m? -° C, determine how long it will
convection heat transfer coefficient to be
take for the center of the egg to reach 70°C.Question 7. A long 35-cm-diameter cylindrical shaft made of stainless steel 304 (k =
M.9W/m C, p = 7900kg/m3, Cy = 77 T/kg © C, and a = 3.95x10-8m?/s) comes
out of an oven at a uniform temperature of 400°C. The shaft is then allowed to cool
slowly ina chamber at 150°C with an average convection heat transfer coefficient of
h = 60W/m? © C. Determine the temperature at the center of the shaft 20 min after
the start of the cooling process. Also, determine the heat transfer per unit length of the
shaft during this time period.Question 8. In iBetly Crocker's Cookbook, it is stated that it takes 2h 45 min to roast a
3.2-kg rib initially at 4.5°C “rare” in an oven maintained at 163°C. It is recommended that
a meat thermometer be used to monitor the cooking, and the rib is considered rare done
when the thermometer ‘ted into the center of the thickest part of the meat registers
60°C. The rib can be treated as a homogeneous spherical object with the properties
p = 1200kg/m , C, = 4.1 kJ/kg °C, k = 04S W/m °C, and a = 0.91x10-%m?/s.
Determine (a) the heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the rib, (b) the temperature
of the outer surface of the rib when it is done, and (c) the amount of heat transferred to
the rib. (d) Using the values obtained, predict how long it will take to roast this rib to
medium” level, which occurs when the innermost temperature of the rib reaches 71°C.
Compare your result to the listed value of 3 h 20 min. If the roast rib is to be set on
the counter for about 15 min before it is sliced, it is recommended that the rib be taken
out of the oven when the thermometer registers about 4°C below the indicated value
because the rib will continue cooking even after it is taken out of the oven. Do you agree
with this recommendation?
Oven, 163°CQuestion 9. The anthor and his 6-year-old son have conducted the following experiment
to determine the thermal conductivity of a hot dog. ‘They first boiled water in a large pan
and measured the temperature of the boiling water to be 94°C, which is not surprising,
since they live at an elevation of about 1650 m in Reno, Nevada. They then took a hot
dog that is 12.5 cm long and 2.2 em in diameter and inserted a thermocouple into th
midpoint of the hot dog and another thermocouple just under the skin, They waited until
both thermocouples read 20°C, which is the ambient temperature. They then dropped
the hot dog into boiling water and observed the changes in both temperatures. Exactly
2 min after the hot dog was dropped into the boiling water, they recorded the center and
‘the surface temperatures to be 59°C and 88°C, respectively. ‘The density of the hot dog
can be taken to be 980kg/m* , which is slightly less than the density of water, since the
hot dog was observed to be fioat- ing in water while being almost completely immersed.
‘The specific heat of a hot dog can be taken to be 3900.J/kg ° C, which is slightly Tess
than that of water, since a hot dog is mostly water. Using transient temperature charts,
determine (a) the thermal diffusivity of the hot dog, (b) the thermal condnetivity of the
hot dog, and (c) the convection heat transfer coefficient.

for guest who are about to arrive. Initially the apples are at a uniform temperature of
20°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is SW/m?C. Treating the apples as
‘9-cm-diameter spheres and taking their properties tobe p = 840kg/m°, C, = 3.81kT/kgC,

of the apples in 1 h. Also, determine the amount of the transfer from cach apple.
