During air cooling of oranges, grapefruit, and tangelos, the heat transfer coefficient for combined convection, radiatio
During air cooling of oranges, grapefruit, and tangelos, theheat transfer coefficient for combined convection,radiation, and evaporation for air velocities of 0.11 < V <0.33 m/s is determined experimentally and is expressed ash = 5.05 kair Re1/3/D, where the diameter D is the characteristiclength. Oranges are cooled by refrigerated air at 3°Cand 1 atm at a velocity of 0.3 m/s. The thermal conductivity of theorange is given to be k = 0.70 W/m·°C.Determine the initial rate of heat transfer from a 0.13-m-diameterorange initially at 15°C with a thermalconductivity of 0.7 W/m⋅K. Determine the value of the initialtemperature gradient of the orange at the surface.Determine the value of the Nusselt number.
