As part of your work-study program at HTU, you successfully got a student job at your local ‘BEST-BURGER-IN-TOWN’ to help pay your own tuition and expenses. Since cylindrical frozen burger patties are cooked when placed on a hot stainless-steel cooking top, you like to think of the case as a conduction problem: a. Write down the appropriate general heat conduction equation that describes the cooking of those beef patties. b. Clearly state all assumptions. c. After cancelling the proper terms, write down the final energy equation for the patties. Do not solve for temperature distribution or heat transfer.
