11-20 The heating times of a sphere, a cube, and a rectangular prism with similar dimensions are to be
determined.
Assumptions 1 The thermal properties of the geometries are constant. 2 The heat transfer coefficient is
constant and uniform over the entire surface.
Properties The properties of silver are given to be k = 429 W/mC, = 10,500 kg/m3, and cp = 0.235
kJ/kgC.
Analysis For sphere, the characteristic length and the Biot number are

Since Bi < 0.1 , the lumped system analysis is applicable. Then the time period for the sphere temperature
