A sphere which is 12.7 mm in diameter, is at 66 °C before it is inserted into an airstream having a temperature of 27 °C. The surface temperature of the sphere is 55 °C after 69 seconds measured by a thermocouple. This sphere has density 8933 kg/m³, cp = 389 J/kg∙K, k=398 W/m K Assume this sphere can be treated as a lumped system. Find the convective heat transfer coefficient and then calculate Bi number to justify the assumption that this sphere can be treated as a lumped system.
