Timetable for roasting turkey

Timetable for roasting turkey. Combine with mass transfer to track diffusion of flavors

A homogeneous solid body of arbitrary shape is initially at temperature T0 At t=0 it is immersed in a fluid medium of temperature T1. L is a characteristic length in the solid. Show that dimensional analysis predicts that
