Question:

A person is found dead at 5pm in a room whose temperature is 20°C. The temperature of the body is measured to be 25°C when found, and the heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 8 W/m2 · K. Modeling the body as a 30-cm-diameter, 1.70-m-long cylinder and using the lumped system analysis as a rough approximation, estimate the time of death of that person.
