Calculation of Thermal Diffusivity and Biot Number of a Process
Question
A process for preserving peas involves heating them quickly to a high temperature by immersion in boiling water. In a particular case, peas with an average diameter of 10.0 mm are to be heated to an average temperature of 950 C by rapid immersion in boiling water at 1000 C. the initial temperature of peas is 250 C. properties for the peas and of the system are given below:
|
Thermal conductivity |
Heat capacity |
Density |
Diameter |
Heat transfer coefficient |
|
W/m-K |
kJ/kg-K |
Kg/m3 |
mm |
kW/m2-K |
|
0.45 |
3.50 |
960 |
10.0 |
0.895 |
- What are the values of thermal diffusivity (m2 /s) and Biot Number?
- What is the (dimensionless) unaccomplished temperature change at the desired temperature of 950 C?
- Assuming that the surface temperature of the peas remains constant at the temperature of the boiling water, how long will it take to reach the desired temperature? Explain how you found the value and comment on whether this is a reasonable assumption.
- It is found that peas with a diameter of 8 mm require about 34 seconds to be heated in a similar manner. Use this result to estimate how long it will take to heat the 6 mm peas.
- If the thermal conductivity of the 10 m pea is 45 W/m-K instead (other properties remain the same) , what will be average temperature of the peas after they are put into the boiling water for 10 seconds and how much energy is transferred to one hundred of such within this 10 seconds?
Summary: This question belongs to heat transfer and discusses about a process for preserving peas. Explains thermal diffusivity, energy transferred and Biot Number.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was really stuck with my signal processing assignment in my third year of engineering and needed serious help. It was then when I came across this wonderful website. The experts here are open to suggestions and unassuming and instead of a situation where they act like they know everything (as in the case of most online tutoring websites) they listened to me and helped me out. I really liked what they did with all my assignments and most importantly helped me get good grades.

I was first very skeptical about taking an online help for my project management assignments. However, the moment I took help I realized that a lot of things need more attention and they are generally not covered in the class. So, I think TheReliableTutor.com is a fantastic platform to polish your knowledge of operations management along with the concepts of project management.

I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.
Sapphire Barron Student
When I was handed over a data filled excel sheet to analyze as a part of the assignment, then I had no idea what to do and how to approach. I kept on thinking as the deadline kept on getting nearer. Then one of my seniors in college told me about HwA and that is how I first approached them. The experience was fantastic as the experts here found out definitive trends and made sense out of that sheet. They also helped me with the writing the analysis and I got good grades.

Before approaching TheReliableTutor.com, zoology was one of the most difficult things in my life. But after taking sessions from TheReliableTutor.com, zoology has become more fun and more interesting to learn. Thank you guys..!!!

this is a very good website
I have 50 questions for the same test your page is showing only 28
hi can you please help or guide me to answer my assignments. thanks
hi can anyone help or guide me to my assignments. thanks
This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
