A long cylinder of 30-mm diameter, initially at a uniform temperature of 700 K, is suddenly quenched in a large, constant-temperature oil bath at 350 K. The cylinder properties are k = 1.7 W/mĀ·K, c = 1600 J/kgĀ·K, and Ļ = 400 kg/m³, while the convection coefficient is 59 W/m²·K.
Step 1
When deciding if the lumped capacitance method can be used, what is the value of the Biot number?
Bi_c = 0.26
Step 2
When using the one-term approximation for transient 1-D conduction, what is the value of the applicable Biot number? Use Table 5.1.
Bi = .52
Step 3
Using the one-term approximation, if Bi in Table 5.1 were equal to 1.0, what would be the value of C1 for this problem?
C_1 = 1.207
Step 4
Use the one-term approximation method to solve for the Fourier number for reaching the surface temperature of 500 K.
F_0 =
Step 5
Solve for the time required for the surface of the cylinder to reach 500 K, in sec.
t = sec
