The heat transfer coefficients for the flow of 26.6°C air over a 1.25 cm diameter sphere are measured by observing the temperature-time history of a copper ball of the same dimension. The temperature of the copper ball (c = 376 J/(kg K), ? = 8928 kg/m3) was measured by two thermocouples, one located in the center, and the other near the surface. The two thermocouples registered, within the accuracy of the recording instruments, the same temperature at any given instant. In one test run, the initial temperature of the ball was 66°C and the temperature decreased by 7°C in 1.15 min. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for this case.
