Question: in a factory 1 cm thick 3 * 3 cm square stainless steel plates initially at 1 7 0 C are quenched in a water

in a factory 1 cm thick 3*3 cm square stainless steel plates initially at 170 C are quenched in a water bath at 40 C for a period of 2 min at a rate 150 plates per minute. if the temperature of the plates after quenching is 60 C. determine the rate at which heat needs to be removed from the water in order to keep its temperature constant at 40 C. For the same operating conditions, what materials would you recommend the manufacturerer use to minimize or maximize the heat transferred from the plates to the water? Density 8087 kg/m3 and specific heat of stainless steel 0.50 kj/kgC
