Q14) A 65-kg beef carcass (k=0.47 W/m °C and a=0.13x10-6 m²/s) initially at a uniform temperature of 37°C is to be cooled by refrigerated air at -6°C flowing at a velocity of 1.8 m/s. The average heat transfer coefficient between the carcass and the air is 22 W/m2°C. Treating the carcass as a cylinder of diameter 24 cm and height 1.4 m and disregarding heat transfer from the base and top surfaces, determine how long it will take for the center temperature of the carcass to drop to 4°C. Also, determine if any part of the carcass will freeze during this process.

Q14) A 65-kg beef carcass (k-0.47 W/m °C and a-0.13x10-6 m²/s) initially at a
uniform temperature of 37°C is to be cooled by refrigerated air at -6°C flowing at
a velocity of 1.8 m/s. The average heat transfer coefficient between the carcass
and the air is 22 W/m2°C. Treating the carcass as a cylinder of diameter 24 cm
and height 1.4 m and disregarding heat transfer from the base and top surfaces,
determine how long it will take for the center temperature of the carcass to drop
to 4°C. Also, determine if any part of the carcass will freeze during this process.
