In a metal wire manufacturing facility, continuously drawn copper wire with a 2.5 mm diameter is annealed by heating it from its initial temperature of 45°C to 400°C in a soaking oven. The oven inside air temperature is 700°C with an average heat transfer coefficient of hc =45 W/(m² K). Estimate the soaking annealing time required. Also if the oven is 3.5 m long and the drawn wire is continuously fed through the oven (entering at one end and pulled out at the other longitudinal end), what should be the drawing speed or velocity?

Question

Help me answer my sample problem.

In a metal wire manufacturing facility, continuously drawn copper wire with a 2.5 mm
diameter is annealed by heating it from its initial temperature of 45°C to 400°C in a soaking
oven. The oven inside air temperature is 700°C with an average heat transfer coefficient of
hc =45 W/(m? K). Estimate the soaking annealing time required. Also if the oven is 3.5 m
long and the drawn wire is continuously fed through the oven (entering at one end and
pulled out at the other longitudinal end), what should be the drawing speed or velocity?
