Chapter 3, Problem 3.73P

Steel is sequentially heated and cooled (annealed) to relieve stresses and to make it less brittle. Consider a 100-mm-thick plate k = 45 W / m ⋅ K , ρ = 7800 k g / m 3 , c p = 500 J / k g ⋅ K that is initially at a uniform temperature of 300°C and is heated (on both sides) in a gas-fired furnace for which T ∞ = 700 ° C and h = 500 W / m 2 ⋅ K . How long will it take for a minimum temperature of 550°C to be reached in the plate?
