Question: Consider a rectangular graphite slab as shown in the figure of width 1 m , thickness of 4 c m and length of 1 0

Consider a rectangular graphite slab as shown in
the figure of width 1m, thickness of 4cm and
length of 10cm. The slab was heated in an oven to
950C and taken out, kept in a room for 10
minutes. The convective heat transfer coefficient of
the air in the room is 100Wm2K and the room
temperature is T=25C.
a) Can this graphite slab cooling be treated as
lumped-capacity cooling? (2 point)
b) What is the final temperature of the slab
after 10 minutes? (3 points)
