Correct and complete solution please
A fruit with a diameter of 8 cm (k=0.5 W/m °C, a=1.5*10") and uniform temperature of 25°C,
was frozen in a refrigerator at -2°C by circulating flow of the air at velocity of 0.2 m/s and its
average heat transfer coefficient between fruit and air of 25 W/m2 °C.
a) How long does the temperature at the fruit's center was decreased 20°C from the initial state
