QUESTION 2(35 Marks)
An ostrich egg with a radius of 5 cm will be modeled as a perfect sphere with a thermal conductivity of 0.5WmC, and a thermal diffusivity of 1.510-5m2s. The egg is initially at a uniform temperature of 25C and dropped into boiling water at 95C. The convection heat transfer coefficient between the egg and water is 1000Wm2.C.
a) Determine how long it will take for the centre of the egg to reach 60C.
b) What is the major assumption you used in solving this problem, is it satisfied?
