engineering

The thermal conductivity of a solid whose density and specific heat are known can be determined from the relation $k=\alpha / \rho c_{p}$ after evaluating the thermal diffusivity $\alpha .$ Consider a 2-cm-diameter cylindrical rod made of a sample material whose density and specific heat are $3700 kg/m^3$ and $920 J/kg \cdot K,$ respectively. The sample is initially at a uniform temperature of $25^\circ C.$ In order to measure the temperatures of the sample at its surface and its center, a thermocouple is inserted to the center of the sample along the centerline, and another thermocouple is welded into a small hole drilled on the surface. The sample is dropped into boiling water at $100^\circ C.$ After 3 min, the surface and the center temperatures are recorded to be $93^\circ C$ and $75^\circ C,$ respectively. Determine the thermal diffusivity and the thermal conductivity of the material.
