A sphere of 80 mm diameter (k=50 W/m.K and α=1.5x10-6 m2/s) is initially at a uniform, elevated temperature, and is quenched in an oil bath maintained at 30 °C. The convection coefficient for the cooling process is 1100 W/m2K. At a certain time, the surface temperature of the sphere is measured to be 120 °C. What is the corresponding center temperature of the sphere?
