5. A can contains beans packed at 90 °C. The can is put in an autoclave and heated with steam at 121 °C. What will be the temperature at the can center after 12 min? How long will it take to reach 115 C at the center? Assume temperature of the can surface is 121 C from T=0 on. Can dimensions: 15 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height Thermal diffusivity of beans: 6.78 x 10-8 m²/s Assume that the internal resistance to heat transfer is negligible (there is no temperature gradient inside the strawberry).
