Chapter 4, Problem 71P
Citrus fruits are very susceptible to cold weather, and extended exposure to subfreezing temperatures can destroy them. Consider an 8-cm-diameter orange that is initially at 15°C. A cold front moves in one night, and the ambient temperature suddenly drops to -6°C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2 K. Using the properties of’ water for the orange and assuming the ambient conditions remain constant for 4 h before the cold front moves out, determine if any part of the orange will freeze that night. Solve this problem using the analytical one-term approximation method.

2-m-long, 0.3-cm-diameter electrical wire extends across a room at 15°C,
Heat is generated in the wire as a result of resistance heating, and the surface
temperature of the wire is measured to be 152°C in steady operation. Also,
the voltage drop and electric current through the wire are measured to be
60 V and 1.5 A, respectively. Disregarding any heat transfer by radiation,
determine the convection heat transfer coefficient for heat transfer between
the outer surface of the wire and the air in the room.
Ice water of 0°C is stored in a spherical container made of steel with an inner diameter of 3 m and a thickness of 1 cm. This container is located in a place where the external temperature is 25℃. The temperature of the entire container is assumed to be 0°C. If thermal resistance in the container is ignored, obtain (a) the heat transfer rate to ice water, and (b) the amount of ice that melts for 24 hours. The melting heat of ice at atmospheric pressure is 333.7 kJ/kg. The emissivity of the outer wall of the container is 0.75, and the convective thermoelectric transfer coefficient is 30 W/m2·K. The average temperature of the surrounding surface for radiation is 15℃.
