A food product with 80% moisture content in a 10 cm diameter can wants to be frozen. The density of the product is 1000 kg / m³, the thermal conductivity is 1.0 W / (m K), and the initial freezing temperature is -1.75 ° C. After 15 hours in the freezing medium -25 ° 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 = W / (m² K).
