Question:

In a production facility, 1.5-in-thick, 1-ft Ã—3 square brass plates (Ï = 5 532.5 lbm/ft3 and cp = 0.091 Btu/lbm·°F) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 75°F are heated by passing them through an oven at 1300°F at a rate of 175 per minute. If the plates remain in the oven until their average temperature rises to 1000°F, determine the rate of heat transfer to the plates in the furnace and the rate of exergy destruction associated with this heat transfer process.
