p.278, Prob. 4-12: Replace problem statement with To warm up some milk for a baby, a mother
pours milk into a thin-walled cylindrical container whose diameter is 6 cm. The height of the milk
in the container is 7 cm. She then places the container into a large pan filled with hot water at
70C. The milk is stirred constantly, so that its temperature is uniform at all times. If the heat
transfer coefficient between the water and the container is 120 W/m2K, determine how long it
will take for the milk to warm up from 3C to 38C. Assume the entire surface area of the
cylindrical container (including the top and bottom) is in thermal contact with the hot water. 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? Why? Answer: 4.50 min"
