Number 3 A food product with 73% moisture content in a 5 cm diameter can wants to be frozen. The density of the product is 970 kg/m³, the thermal conductivity is 1.2W/(m K), and the initial freezing temperature is -2.25°C. After 10 hours in the freezing medium -35°C, the product temperature becomes -10°C. Estimate the convection heat transfer coefficient of the freezing medium. Assume the can as an infinite cylinder.
