Ok, this is the energy equation that I came up with, with all of the unnecessary terms crossed out.. Hamster, can you check to see if it's correct?

Well this is an open ended problem, so I can assume anything as long as I justify my assumptions. Not to sound lazy, but I would do whatever is simpler. I think I will assume the second case you stated, where the cavity is sealed and that the oil on the outside is heating the meat and the oil on...

Yes, I was planning to use a hollow sphere but I was not planning to take into account the oil filling the chicken, although I probably should. If this is considered, then would convection come into account for the energy balance, since you have flow into the chicken? I guess my biggest...

Well, up until this point we have only covered momentum and energy transport, so mass would not be covered...although I'm sure it's occurring in this process.

Well, I am assuming that the geometry of the chicken will be roughly a sphere of radius R. So, as I understand it, the only change between the oil and water is the difference of temperature between the fluid and the chicken? One thing I'm not clear on is, why is there no convection in this...

Yes, the chicken is hollow but I will assume that it will not fill with oil. I will assume that the shape is a sphere and make my balance around that. Also, if only heat conduction is relevant, then what would change if the chicken is boiled instead? Any thoughts?

One of my project for my transport courses is to answer how long it would take to deep fry a chicken with all the internal organs removed? I was thinking this can be solved by setting up an energy balance with the energy equation and discarding terms. Would I also have to do a momentum balance...

Let me clarify. I do mean viscosity. The water and oil was just an example. I'm saying any two liquids, like maple syrup and honey to simplify. But they are NOT mixed together. So you have 500 mL of syrup in a beaker and another beaker with 500mL of honey. I am saying that since the viscosity of...

I was just wondering. Say you have two different liquid with two different viscosities (water and oil, etc). If you have them in two different containers, and having the same amount in each container, say 500 mL. You heat them both to some temperature, say 100 F. Since liquid expands when it is...

anybody?

[SOLVED] average speed Problem: Calculate the average speed of a molecule that strikes a small surface. How does this compare with the average speed of all molecules? I started by using the root mean square speed as the average speed of some random molecule, for example hydrogen. So...

Yeah I get the same result, 2.25 x 10^(19) m. So this isn't the right answer then?

Problem: Interstellar space has an average temperature of about 10K and an average density of hydrogen atoms of about one hydrogen atom per cubic meter. Compute the main free path of a hydrogen atom in interstellar space. Take the diameter of an H atom to be 100 pm. Here is what I did. I...

I get .707 as the answer. If someone could check for me that would be great.

I am having some trouble starting this one. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8080/79432817ke4.jpg Im not sure if I am supposed to replace the psi(v) with some ground state harmonic oscialltor function or not. If so, do I then just take the integrals and then divide 1 to 2 by 0 to 1 to...
