Review the history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper


Solve the following problem:

Q: The heat transfer coefficient for air flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature-time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 12.7 mm in diameter, is at 66°C before it is inserted into an airstream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 55°C 69 s after the sphere is inserted in the airstream. Assume, and then justify, that the sphere behaves as a space wise isothermal object and calculate the heat transfer coefficient.
