For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 6cmdiameter sphere having the properties of water (density = 1000kg/m3 , cp= 4.2 kJ/kg-K). An egg that is initially at 8 °C isdropped into boiling water at 100 °C. The heat transfer coefficientat the surface of the egg is estimated to be 800 W/m2 -K. If theegg is considered cooked when it’s temperature reaches 60 °C,determine how long the egg should be kept in the boiling water.
