Chapter 5, Problem 5.101P
To enable cooking a wider range of foods in microwave ovens, thin, metallic packaging materials have been developed that will readily absorb microwave energy. As the packaging material is heated by the microwaves, conduction simultaneously occurs from the hot packaging material to the cold food. Consider the spherical piece of frozen ground beef of Problem 5.33 that is now wrapped in the thin microwave-absorbing packaging material. Determine the time needed for the beef that is immediately adjacent to the packaging material to reach

Microwave ovens operate by rapidly aligning and reversing water molecules within the food, resulting in volumetric energy generation
and, in turn, cooking of the food. When the food is initially frozen, however, the water molecules do not readily oscillate in response to
the microwaves, and the volumetric generation rates are between one and two orders of magnitude lower than if the water were in
liquid form. (Microwave power that is not absorbed in the food is reflected back to the microwave generator, where it must be
dissipated in the form of heat to prevent damage to the generator.)
(a) Consider a frozen, 0.7-kg spherical piece of ground beef at an initial temperature of T₁ = -20°C placed in a microwave oven with
To = 30°C and h = 15 W/m².K. Determine how long, in min, it will take the beef to reach a uniform temperature of T = 0°C, with all
the water in the form of ice. Assume the properties of the beef are the same as ice, and assume 3% of the oven power (P = 1 kW
total) is…

The inner and outer radii of the sphere are o.18 and o.21 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of o.15 m.

Depending on the amount of insulation, the time constant for the building may range from 1 to 4 hr. To illustrate the effect insulation will have on the temperature inside the warehouse, assume the outside temperature varies as a sine wave, with a minimum of 12°C at 2:00 A.M. and a maximum of 32°C at 2:00 P.M. Assuming the exponential term (which involves the initial temperature To) has died off, what is the lowest temperature inside the building if the time constant is 1 hr? If it is 4 hr? What is the highest temperature inside the building if the time constant is 1 hr? If it is 4 hr? If the time constant is 1 hr, then the lowest temperature inside the building is about °C.

Both pieces have a cross-sectional area of 0.0020 m2. The thermal conductivity of alloy B is known to be 1.8 times as great as that of alloy A. The end of the rod in alloy A is maintained at a temperature of 10 degrees Celcius, and the other end of the rod is maintained at an unknown temperature. When the steady-state flow has been established, the temperature at the junction of the alloys is measured to be 40 degrees Celcius, and the rate of heat flow in the rod is measured at 56 W. What is the temperature of the end of the rod in alloy B.arrow_forward2. Two bars are conducting heat from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
