A long copper cylinder 0.6-m in diameter and initially at a uniform temperature of 38°C is placed in a water bath at 93°C. Assuming that the heat transfer coefficient between the copper and the water is 1248 W/(m2 K), calculate the time required to heat the center of the cylinder to 66°C. As a first approximation, neglect the temperature gradient within the cylinder, then repeat your calculation without this simplifying assumption and compare your results.
