Then the rate of heat transfer from the balls to the water becomes
Therefore, heat must be removed from the water at a rate of 1196 Btu/min in order to keep its

temperature constant at 120.
Substitute 6m for d o .
Obtain the value of thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat of water from the table A-9
“Properties of saturated water” in the text book, at temperature, T avg=20 ℃ .

Substitute 120 w /m2 . k for h, 0.598 . k for k, and 0.0105m for Lc .
m
Since, Biot number is greater than 0.1, lumped system analysis is not applicable. But in this problem, we
are using the lumped system analysis because of temperature remains uniform due to constant stirring.
Substitute 120 w /m2 . k for h, 4182 J /kg . K forC p, 0.0105m for ρ , and for Lc .
