19 mm diameter steel balls are quenched by heating to 989 K followed by slow cooling to 400 K in an environment with air at T∞ = 325 K and h = 39 W/m2.K. Assuming that the steel properties are k = 40 W/m.K, ρ = 7800 kg/m3 and C = 600 J/kg.K, estimate the time (in "minutes") required for the cooling process.   Bolas de aço com 19 mm de diâmetro são temperadas pelo aquecimento a 989 K seguido pelo resfriamento lento até 400 K em um ambiente com ar a T∞ = 325 K e h = 39 W/m2.K. Admitindo que as propriedades do aço sejam k = 40 W/m.K, ρ = 7800 kg/m3 e C = 600 J/kg.K, estime o tempo (em "minutos") necessário para o processo de resfriamento.

Steel cubes 10 mm in width are annealed by heating to 1,377 K and then slowly cooling to 469 K in an air environment for which T∞ = 301 K and h = 24 W/m2-K. Assuming the properties of the steel to be k = 24 W/m · K, ρ = 7,047 kg/m3, and c = 916 J/kg · K, estimate the time required for the cooling process.

3. A food product with 73% moisture content in a 10 cm diameter can wants to be frozen. The density of the product is 970 kg / m³, the thermal conductivity is 1.2 W / (m K), and the initial freezing temperature is -2 ° C. After 14 hours in the freezing medium -30 ° C, the product temperature becomes -10 ° C. Estimate the convection heat transfer coefficient of the freezing medium. Assume the can as an infinite cylinder.    h = Answer  W / (m² K).
