A sugar manufacturing company uses bagasse as fuel to drive steam turbines which are obtained directly after extraction of juice from sugar canes. Along the process, it is almost impossible to feed pure bagasse without the presence of mud and/or any other external residues. For instance, a certain amount of mud is present in a bagasse feed which has an initial temperature of 55°C. It was then fed to the furnace which is maintained at a constant temperature of 1,400°C. The mud, in consequence hardens if it reaches a temperature of 900°C. Suppose that the mud has a temperature increase of 100°C in 45 seconds, does it harden after 2 minutes? Why? Why not?
