Question: In a yoghurt processing facility, starter culture is added after yoghurts are filled into 9 0 0 g plastic containers with a diameter of 1

In a yoghurt processing facility, starter culture is added after yoghurts are filled into 900 g plastic containers with a diameter of 160 mm and a height of 130 mm. Then, the yoghurt containers at 20\deg C are taken to incubation rooms at 44\deg C to provide the necessary environment for fermentation. Since the incubation period is 3 hours, calculate the surface temperature of the yoghurt in the yoghurt containers after incubation using the "Single Term Approximation Method". The yoghurt containers will be considered as vertical cylinders. Properties of the yoghurt: thermal conductivity 0.566 W/m K, Thermal diffusivity 0.12x10-6 m2/ s, its density is 1020 kg/m3, its specific is1 is 3.96 kJ/kg K.
