Q1. In a material processing experiment, a coated metal sphere of 5-mm diameter is removed from a furnace at 900C and cooled to a temperature of 200C. Although properties of the metal vary over this temperature range, constant values may be assumed to a reasonable approximation, with =9000kgm3,c=300Jkg*K, and k=60Wm.K
a) If cooling is implemented in a large, evacuated chamber whose walls are at 25C, determine the time required to reach the final temperature if the coating is polished and has an emissivity of =0.1. How long would it take if the coating is oxidized and =0.5?(3 points assumption and sketch (if any)+2 points calculation)
b) To reduce the time required for cooling, consideration is given to immersion of the sphere in an inert gas stream for which T=25C and h=200Wm2.K. Neglecting radiation, what is the time required for cooling? (2 points calculation)
c) Considering the effect of both radiation and convection, what is the time required for cooling if h=200Wm2.K and =0.1. Explore the effect on the cooling time of independently varying h and .(3 points calculation)
