Chapter 7, Problem 7.141P
Cranberries are harvested by flooding the bogs in which they are grown and raking them into troughs for transport. At the processing plant, the surface moisture on the berries is removed as they roll over a fine screen through which warm air is blown. The berries have an average diameter of 15 mm, and the thickness of the water layer is 0.2 mm. 
If the velocity and temperature of the heated air are 2m/s and 30°C, respectively, estimate the time required to dry the berries. Assume that the water film on the berries is also at 30°C.

Experiments have been conducted on a metallic cylinder 12.7 mm in diameter and 94 mm
long. The cylinder is heated internally by an electrical heater and is subjected to a cross
flow of air in a low-speed wind tunnel. Under a specific set of operating conditions for
which the upstream air velocity and temperature were maintained at V = 10 m/s and
26.2°C, respectively, the heater power dissipation was measured to be P = 46 W, while the
average cylinder surface temperature was determined to be T, = 128.4°C. It is estimated
that 15% of the power dissipation is lost through the cumulative effect of surface radiation
and conduction through the endpieces.

A plastics plant manufactures larges pieces of plastic by continuously extruding thin sheets.As the sheets flow out of the extruder, they are cooled via forced convection and radiation.The plastic sheets are 1 mm thick, 1 m wide, and leave the extruder at a rate of 9 m/min.A fan blows air over the top and bottom surface of the sheet during the first meter after thesheet leaves the extruder. The fan accelerates the air to 3 m/s and the air is known to be at27°C at the fan outlet. At the exit of the extruder, the plastic is at 90°C. The plastic isestimated to have an emissivity of ? = 0.9 and the general surroundings are at 20°C.
