A billet of stainless steel, AISI 316, with a diameter of 150 mm and a length of 500 mm emerges from a heat treatment process at 200°C and is placed in an unstirred oil bath maintained at 20°C.
(a) Determine whether it is advisable to position the billet in the bath with its centerline horizontal or vertical in order to decrease the cooling time.
(b) Estimate the time for the billet to cool to 30°C for the preferred arrangement.

- 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/sarrow_forwardplease answer asap with correct answerarrow_forwardEstimate the interfacial heat transfer coefficient for evaporation of a thin film of saturated liquid water at atmospheric pressure.

- An underwater sonar that maps the ocean bathymetry is encapsulated in a sphere with a diameter of 85 mm. During operation, the sonar generates heat at a rate of 300W. What is the sonar surface temperature when it’s located in a water column where the temperature is 15o C and the water current is 1 m/sec? The sonar was pulled out of the water without turning it off, thus, it was still working. The air temperature was 15o C and the air speed was 3 m/sec. What was the sonar surface temperature? Was there any reason for concern?arrow_forwardStainless steel (AISI 304) ball bearings, which have been uniformly heated to 850°C, are hardened by quenching them in an oil bath that is maintained at 40°C.
