A cylindrical drink can (d = 64 mm, h = 103 mm) is taken out of a fridge at ϑF0= 6 ◦C and placed in a room where the air temperature is ϑA= 24 ◦C. Calculate the temperature ϑFof the can after it has been there for 2 hours. In addition to this find the time, t∗, it takes for the temperature of the can to reach ϑF= 20 ◦C. The only meaningful resistance to the overall heat transfer between the air and the contents of the can is that on the outside of the can which is given by αo= 7.5W/m2K. The material properties of the drink are F = 1.0 · 103 kg/m3and cF= 4.1 · 103 J/kgK.
