A sphere 30 mm in diameter is initially at 800 K. It is then quenched in a large bath having a constant temperature of 320 K with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 75 W/m'.K.
The thermo-physical properties of the sphere material are: k =1.7 W/m.K. p =400 kg/m'.
cp =1600 J/kg-K.
(a) Calculate the time required for the surface of the sphere to reach 415 K.
(b) Determine the heat flux (W/m') at the outer surface of the sphere at the time determined in part (a).
(c) Determine the energy that has been lost by the sphere during the process of cooling to the surface temperature of 415 K.
