Trending News! Just in time for Thanksgiving, the CWRU Genetics Engineering Lab reports the development of a new variety of giant turkeys, which can be as large as 250 lbm. Unfortunately, it's not clear how to prepare giant turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner. Your task is to determine how long such a large turkey should be roasted. a) The process of roasting is governed by the thermal energy balance applied to the turkey itself. By scaling the thermal energy balance appropriately simplified for this scenario, find the expected relationship between total cooking time and the mass of a turkey. (Note that you will have to develop a length scale for the unsteady conduction process in relation to the mass of the turkey.) b) A cookbook provides the following "data" for the roasting of normal turkey at 350F. Mass of Turkey (lbm) 6-10 10-16 18-25 Cooking time per mass (min/lbm) 20-25 18-20 15-18 Are these "data" consistent with the predictions of scaling relations? Take average values of each range given above, and see if three "data points" follow the scaling law predicted in (a). c) Based on the results of part (b), determine how long should the 200 lbm turkey be roasted? Assume that the giant turkey is geometrically similar to, and has the same physical properties as the turkeys for which the data in (b) apply.
