Question
The heat transfer coefficient for air flowing over a sphere is to be
determined by observing the temperature-time history of a sphere
fabricated from pure copper. The 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. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the
sphere indicates 55°C 69 s after the sphere is inserted in the
airstream. Assume, and then justify, that the sphere behaves as a
spacewise isothermal object and calculate the heat transfer
coefficient.
