Question: A rectangular slab of butter which is 9 2 . 4 m m in height at a temperature of 2 7 7 . 6 K

A rectangular slab of butter which is 92.4mm in height at a temperature of 277.6K in a cooler is
removed and placed in an environment at 297.1K. The sides and bottom of the butter container can be
considered to be insulated. The flat top surface of the butter is exposed to the environment. The convective
coefficient is constant at 8.52Wm2**K. Heat transfer characteristics of butter are located in the Geankoplis
textbook appendix.
a. Calculate the temperature in the butter at the surface t=5 hours after exposure. List the figure
number (ex Figure 1.7-9) you used to solve this problem.
b. Calculate the temperature in the butter 25.4mm below the surface t=5 hours after exposure. List
the figure number (ex Figure 1.7-9) you used to solve this problem.
c. Calculate the temperature in the butter at the center t=5 hours after exposure. List the figure
number (ex Figure 1.7-9) you used to solve this problem.
