Before introducing apples to cold storage, they should be cooled to a temperature of 3°C in order to avoid problems when exposing the hot apples to the much lower temperature in the storage. It is assumed that the apples are initially at 25°C, they are spheres of 7 cm diameter and that the cooling is carried out by means of an airstream at −1°C, to a such velocity that the heat convection coefficient is 30 W/(m2 °C). Calculate the necessary time to cool the apples so that its geometric center reaches 3°C. Data (apple properties): density, 930 kg/m3 ; thermal conductivity, 0.50 W/(m °C); specific heat, 3.6 kJ/(kg °C)

For these flow conditions, 20 kW/m of power is required to maintain a uniform temperature of at the surface of the cylinder. When water is not available, air at is used with a velocity of 10 m/s to maintain the same surface temperature. However, in this case, the cylinder surface heat dissipation rate is reduced to 400 W/m.
