7.10 Using Plank's equation, determine the freezing time for a potato sphere with a moisture content of 88%. The potato will be frozen in a blast freezer where air is available at -40°C and the convective heat transfer coefficient is 40 W/(m2 °C). The thermal conductivity of frozen potato is estimated to be 1.3 W/(m °C) and its density is 950 kg/m. The initial freezing temperature of potato is -2°C. The diameter of the potato sphere is 2 cm.
