An experiment was conducted to determine surface convective heat-transfer Example 4.25
coeffi cient for peas being frozen in an air-blast freezer. For this purpose, a metal
analog of peas was used. The analog was a solid copper ball with a diameter of
1 cm. A small hole was drilled to the center of the copper ball, and a thermocouple junction was located at the center using a high-conductivity epoxy. The
density of copper is 8954 kg/m 3
, and its specifi c heat is 3830 J/(kg K). The copper
ball (at a uniform initial temperature of 10°C) was hung in the path of air fl ow
