A 212-mm-square, 15-mm-thick tile has the thermo-physical properties of Pyrex (ϵ = 0.83) and emerges from a curing process at an initial temperature of Ti = 145°C. The backside of the tile is insulated while the upper surface is exposed to ambient air and surroundings at 25°C. (a) Estimate the time required for the tile to cool to a final, safe-to-touch temperature of Tf = 42°C. Use an average tile surface temperature of T¯=(Ti+Tf)/2 to estimate the average free convection coefficient and the linearized radiation coefficient. How sensitive is your estimate to the assumed value for T¯? (b) Estimate the required cooling time if ambient air is blown in parallel flow over the tile with a velocity of 10 m/s
