Question:

An aluminum can having a volume of about 350 cm3 contains beer at 1ºC. Using a lumped-capacity analysis, estimate the time required for the contents to warm to 15ºC when the can is placed in a room at 20ºC with a convection coefficient of 15 W/m2·ºC. Assume beer has the same properties as water.
