Oranges of 2.5-in-diameter (k = 0.26 Btu/h·ft·°F and a = 1.4 * 1026 ft2/s) initially at a uniform temperature of 78°F are to be cooled by refrigerated air at 25°F flowing at a velocity of 1 ft/s. The average heat transfer coefficient between the oranges and the air is experimentally determined to be 4.6 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine how long it will take for the center temperature of the oranges to drop to 40°F. Also, determine if any part of the oranges will freeze during this process.

Question

Oranges of 2.5-in-diameter (k = 0.26 Btu/h·ft·°F
and a = 1.4 * 1026 ft2/s) initially at a uniform temperature
of 78°F are to be cooled by refrigerated air at 25°F flowing
at a velocity of 1 ft/s. The average heat transfer coefficient
between the oranges and the air is experimentally determined
to be 4.6 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine how long it will take for the
center temperature of the oranges to drop to 40°F. Also, determine
if any part of the oranges will freeze during this process.
