A potato having mean diameter of 40 mm and initially at 25°C is placed in boiling water for 4 minutes and found to be boiled to the desired level. For how long should a similar potato should be boiled in the same environment and for the same level when taken from the cold storage at 10°C. Take the following properties for potato K=10 W/m oC, ρ = 1200 kg/m³, c = 2000 J/kg oC, h = 100 W/m²°C with usual notations and Use Lump Theory.
