a cylindrical can of bean puree, has a diameter of 70 mm and height of 126 mm, and is initially at a uniform temperature of 25 ° C. The cans are stacked vertically inside a retort into which steam is introduced at 120 ° C. Calculate the temperature in the center of the can after a heating time of 0.55 h at 120 ° C. Now suppose the can is in the center of a vertical stack, insulated at its two ends by the presence of the remaining cans. (The heat capacity of the metal wall of the can can be neglected.) The heat transfer coefficient of steam is estimated to be 4640 W / m2 ° K. The physical properties of the bean are k = 0.750 W / m ° K and the thermal diffusivity = 2.007 x 10-7 m2 / s. a) Calculate the temperature in the center of the product.
