A short bronze cylinder of diameter 6 cm and length 12 cm is initially at 40°C and then plunged into a fluid at 200°C. The temperature at the centre of the cylinder is measured by a thermocouple to be 150°C after 5 minutes. What is the convective heat transfer coefficient between the cylinder and the fluid? The following properties of the bronze cylinder may be used: Thermal conductivity k = 26 W/m-K, density p = 8800 kg/m³, and specific heat c 420 J/kg-K. State and justify all assumptions made.

Question
2 (a) A short bronze cylinder of diameter 6 cm and length 12 cm is initially at 40°C and
then plunged into a fluid at 200°C. The temperature at the centre of the cylinder is
measured by a thermocouple to be 150°C after 5 minutes. What is the convective heat
transfer coefficient between the cylinder and the fluid?
The following properties of the bronze cylinder may be used:
Thermal conductivity k = 26 W/m-K, density p = 8800 kg/m², and specific heat c =
420 J/kg-K. State and justify all assumptions made.
