Question: A 1 . 2 7 - cm diameter copper ( r = 8 9 3 3 kg / m 3 , C = 3 8

A 1.27-cm diameter copper (r=8933 kg/m3,C=385 J/(kgoC)) sphere is heated in a convection furnace for a very long time so that its temperature becomes equal to the temperature of the air in the furnace at 260oC. Then, the sphere is removed from the furnace and is placed in a forced convection flow where the heat transfer coefficienthis 17 W/(m2oC) and where the temperature is 38oC. If the thermal conductivity of copper is 400W/(moC), calculate the Biot number.
