Calculate the mean temperature as follows: T = 300 + ( 4 + 273 ) 2 = 288.5 K Refer to table A-4 “Thermo physical properties of air at atmospheric pressure” to obtain the kinematic viscosity of air as 14.866 × 10 − 6 m 2 /s , thermal conductivity as 0.02538 W/m ⋅ K , Thermal diffusivity as 20.982 × 10 − 6 m 2 /s and Prandtl number as 0.71 corresponding to temperature of 288.5 K by the help of interpolation. Write the expression for Rayleigh number for can in vertical position. Ra L = g β ( T s − T ∞ ) L 3 α ν ........ (1) Here, Ra L is the Rayleigh number, g is the gravitational acceleration, T s is the surface temperature, L is the length of can, α is the thermal diffusivity, ν is the kinematic viscosity and T ∞ is the temperature of ambient.

Write the expression for heat transfer coefficient for horizontal positioned can. N u ¯ D = h h ¯ D k ........ (7) Here, h h ¯ is the heat transfer coefficient for horizontal positioned can. Write the expression for heat transfer when can in horizontal position. q h = h h ¯ π D L ( T s − T ∞ ) ........ (8) Here, q h is the heat transfer when can in horizontal position. Calculation: Substitute 14.866 × 10 − 6 m 2 /s for ν , 20.982 × 10 − 6 m 2 /s for α , 9.81 m/s 2 for g , 1 288.5 K for β , 277 K for T ∞ , 300 K for T s and 150 mm for L in equation (1). Ra L = ( 9.81 ) ( 1 288.5 ) ( 300 − 277 ) ( 150 mm ( 1 m 1000 mm ) ) 3 ( 20.982 × 10 − 6 ) ( 14.866 × 10 − 6 ) = 2.64 × 10 − 3 311.918 × 10 − 12 = 8.46 × 10 6 Substitute 8.46 × 10 6 for R a L and 0.71 for Pr in equation (2).

Juice in cans 150 mm long and 60 mm in diameter is initially at 27°C and is to be cooled by placement in a refrigerator compartment at 4°C. In the interest of maximizing the cooling rate, should the cans be laid horizontally or vertically in the compartment?

Partially-frozen ice cream is being placed in a package before completion of the freezing process. The package has dimensions of 8 cm by 10 cm by 20 cm and is placed in air- blast freezing with convective heat coefficient of 50 W/(m2 K) for freezing. The product temperature is -5°C when placed in the package, and the air temperature is -25°C. The product density is 700 kg/m3, the thermal conductivity (frozen) is 1.2 W/(m K), and the specific heat of the frozen product is 1.9 kJ/(kg K). If the latent heat to be removed during blast freezing is 100 kJ/kg, estimate the freezing time.

A 212-mm-square, 15-mm-thick tile has the thermo-physical properties of Pyrex (ϵ = 0.83) and emerges from a curing process at an initial temperature of Ti = 145°C. The backside of the tile is insulated while the upper surface is exposed to ambient air and surroundings at 25°C. (a) Estimate the time required for the tile to cool to a final, safe-to-touch temperature of Tf = 42°C. Use an average tile surface temperature of T¯=(Ti+Tf)/2 to estimate the average free convection coefficient and the linearized radiation coefficient. How sensitive is your estimate to the assumed value for T¯? (b) Estimate the required cooling time if ambient air is blown in parallel flow over the tile with a velocity of 10 m/s
