This project examines the effect of object geometry on convection coefficients in a hydroheater by comparing a zucchini cylinder and beet sphere. An energy balance procedure and analytical solution using the Heisler method were used to determine the convection coefficients. The convection coefficient was higher for the beet sphere at 59.41 W/mK than the zucchini cylinder at 24.71 W/mK, showing that geometry affects convection. A numerical COMSOL solution confirmed the analytical results. The conclusion is that surface geometry influences convection coefficients and heating rates in sous vide cooking.
