Question: Consider a 2 - cm - diameter cylindrical rod made of a sample material whose density and specific heat are 3 7 0 0 k

Consider a 2-cm-diameter cylindrical rod made of a sample material whose density and specific heat are 3700kgm3 and 920Jkg*K, respectively. The sample is initially at a uniform temperature of 25C. In order to measure the temperatures of the sample at its surface and its center, a thermocouple is inserted to the center of the sample along the centerline, and another thermocouple is welded into a small hole drilled on the surface. The sample is dropped into boiling water at 100C. After 3min, the surface and the center temperatures are recorded to be 93C and 75C, respectively. Determine the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity of the material.
