The Reynolds number of the air flow is

U∞ D ( 4 m/s) (0.15m)
ReD = = = 4.69 × 104
νa (12.8 × 10 −6
m /s)

The Nusselt number for the geometry is given by Equation (7.3)

ho D Pr  0.25
Nu D = = C ReDm Prn 
ka  Prs 

where, for ReD = 4.69 104

C = 0.26, m = 0.6, and n = 0.37
Since the surface temperature is between T∞ and Tfr, the Prandtl number evaluated at the surface
temperature (Prs) will be 0.71 and Pr/Prs = 1.0
Nu D = 0.26 (4.69 × 104)0.6 (0.71)0.37 = 145.9
ka ( 0.0229 W/(m K))
ho = Nu D = 145.9 = 22.3 W/(m 2 K)
D 0.15m
The rate of heat transfer is given by
ΔT T fr − T∞ T fr − T∞
q= = = 2 π L ro

This is the heat flow rate which removes the latent heat of fusion necessary for freezing, as shown by
Equation (10.34)

q = A ρ Lf = – 2 π (ro + ε) L ρ Lf

where ρLf is the latent heat.
