  1. A metal ball of diameter 60 mm is initially at 220°C. The ball is suddenly cooled by an air jet of 20°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m2K. The specific heat, thermal conductivity and density of the metal ball are 400 J/kgK, 400 W/mK and 9000 kg/m3, respectively. The ball temperature (in °C) after 90 seconds will be approximately
    1. 141
    2. 163
    3. 189
    4. 210
Correct Option: A

CP = 400 J /kg-K
K = 400 W/mK
ρ = 9000 kg/m3
Time (τ) = 90 sec

= e0.5
T - 20

By solving, we get T = 141.3°C
