Question

A rectangular slab of butter which is 46.2 mm thick at a temperature of 277.6 K in a cooler is removed and placed in an environment at 297.1 K. The sides and bottom of the butter container can be considered to be insulated by the container sidewalls. The flat top surface of the butter is exposed to the environment. The convective coefficient is constant at 8.52 W/mK. Calculate the temperature in the butter at the surface, at 25.4 mm below the surface, and at 46.2 mm below the surface at the insulated bottom after 5 h exposure. k = 0.197 W/m-K, Cp = 2.30 kJ/kg-K and ρ = 998 kg/m3. Ans: T= 292.2 K , 288.3
