Q) An apple has been put into a freezer at (-23°C) to be cooled. Initially, the apple is at a uniform temperature of 15°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient on its surface is 16 W/m2.°C. Assuming the apple as a sphere having a diameter of 7-cm and taking its properties as p = 925 kg/m³3, C - 1890 J/kg°C, and k (a) the center 0.225 W/m°C, determine; temperature of the apple in 40 minutes, (b) the actual amount of heat transfer from the apple, and (c) the final equilibrium temperature of the apple.

Question
Q) An apple has been put into a freezer at (-23°C) to be cooled. Initially,
the apple is at a uniform temperature of 15°C. The convection heat transfer
coefficient on its surface is 16 W/m2.°C. Assuming the apple as a sphere
having a diameter of 7-cm and taking its properties as p = 925 kg/m3, c, =
1890 J/kg. C, and k =
0.225 W/m:°C, determine; (a) the center
temperature of the apple in 40 minutes, (b) the actual anmount of heat
transfer from the apple, and (c) the final equilibrium temperature of the
apple.
Hint: consider the temperature is a function of location and time.
