Question: In a vulcanization process, a tire is placed in an oven at 1 4 9 degrees Celsius. The rubber is considered cured when its temperature

In a vulcanization process, a tire is placed in an oven at 149 degrees Celsius. The rubber is considered cured when its temperature reaches 132 degrees C. The tire is initially at 21 degrees C and the thickest part of its tread is 2.5 cm thick. The exchange coefficient h is very large and the properties are as follows: (k =0.13 W/m-K, Cp =2000 J/kg-C and density=1100kg/m^3). How long should the tire be left in the oven?
