Question: A cube with each side equal to 5 c m was taken out of a refrigerator. It has been stored in this refrigerator at 5

A cube with each side equal to 5cm was taken out of a refrigerator. It has been stored in this
refrigerator at 5C for a long time. Then, this cube is dipped in 85C hot water.
We know that: the =950kgm3,k=0.5Wm*K and CP=3700Jkg*K. Also, the heat
transfer coefficient h=650Wm2*K.
a) What do these properties (,k,CP) refer to?
b) What does the h mean in this problem? Please describe it clearly.
c) What is the Biot number in this problem?
d) How long does it take for the center of the cube to reach 50C?(use Appendix F if needed)
