Question: A nickel coin with initial temperature T i = 3 1 0 K falls into a cold lake with temperature T = 2 7 5

A nickel coin with initial temperature Ti=310K falls into a cold lake with temperature T
=275K. The heat transfer coefficient h=200Wm2K. For nickel alloy: Cp=3.8MJ?
m3K and k=15WmK. The diameter of the nickel is 20 mm and the thickness is 1.25 mm .
(a) Sketch the time dependence of the coin temperature. (b) How long does it take for the
coin to reach 280 K ?
A nickel coin with initial temperature T i = 3 1
