- To warm up some milk in a thin-walled glass cylindrical container whose diameter is 6 cm. The height of the milk in the glass is 7 cm. The milk container is placed into a large pan filled with hot water at 60°C. The milk is stirred constantly, so that its temperature is uniform at all times. If the heat transfer coefficient between the water and the glass is 120 W/m2.°C, determine how long it will take for the milk to warm up from 3°C to 38°C. Take the properties of the milk to be the same as those of water. Can the milk in this case be treated as a lumped system? Use the lumped system analysis to solve the problem. The properties of water and milk at 20°C are, k = 0.607 W/m.°C,p=998 kg/m', and C, = 4.182 kJ/kg.°C.
