A meat product cut into slices 10 mm thick, and initially at a temperature of 80◦C, is to be
cooled by blowing cold air at 2◦C across the surface. Estimate both the time for the center
of a slice to reach 20◦C and the temperature at a point 3 mm from the center after 3 min.
The meat has a thermal conductivity of 0.375Wm−1 °C−1, a density of 1250 kg m−3
and a mean heat capacity of 2130 J kg −1 °C−1. Assume the film heat transfer
coefficient between the meat and the air to be 150 W m−2 °C−1
