Question

Please answer 

A wood log (\(k = 0.17 \, \text{W/m} \cdot \text{K}\) and \(\alpha = 1.28 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}\)) is 7.5 cm in diameter and is initially at a uniform temperature of 15°C. It is exposed to hot gases at 500°C in a fireplace with a heat transfer coefficient of 13.6 \(\text{W/m}^2 \cdot \text{K}\) on the surface. If the ignition temperature of the wood is 420°C, determine how long it will be before the log ignites.
