A horizontal copper plate 10 cm thick is initially uniform in temperature at 250◦C. The bottom surface of the plate is insulated. The top surface is suddenly exposed to a fluid stream at 80◦C. After 6 min the surface temperature has dropped to 150◦C. Calculate the convection heat-transfer coefficient that causes this drop.
