2) Consider the energy transfer between a can of soda and the water in a cooler (you can assume that the cooler contains only cold water and no ice). A) Derive an expression for the temperature of the soda and of the water in the cooler as a function of time. Express your results in terms of the volume of the soda, the volume of water in the cooler, the heat transfer coefficient, and the contact area. B) How long will it take the soda to cool from 20C to 4C if the water is initially at 0C, Vsoda=0.5L,Vcooler=5L, and hA=5kcal/hr/K ? C) What is the steady-state temperature of the soda and the water in the cooler for the conditions in part B? D) The analysis presented in (A) to (C) ignores the energy transfer from the water in the cooler to the surrounding air. Evaluate the steady-state temperature of the soda and water if the heat transfer coefficient for the cooler is hcAc=1kcal/hr/K and Tair=20C
