Quenching is a rapid cooling process by which many metallic alloys are hardened. Brass (a copper alloy: 70 Cu, 30 Zn) plates that are 4 mm thick are quenched in a water bath at a heat treating plant. If a brass plate is initially at 4500C determine the quench time needed for the plate to attain 900C. The water bath temperature is 800C and has an average convective heat transfer coefficient of 45 W/(m2 K), determine how long the plate has to remain in the oven.

In general, it is helpful to think of a thermally lumped object as being “tied down” to somereference temperature through a general thermal resistance. In the simplest case this is asingle thermal resistance (e.g., just convection), but there are cases for which this thermalresistance is composed of more than one heat transfer mechanism. Consider the quenchingof a solid, alloy 2024-T6 aluminum rod that has been coated with a thin insulating material.If the insulating material is thin enough that its thermal energy storage capacity can beignored, the effective resistance between the rod and the quenching fluid consists of boththe conduction through the insulating material and the convection to the fluid.a) The simplest version of the Biot number is Bi = ℎ??? . When there are multipleexternal resistances between the lumped object at the surroundings the Biot numbergeneralizes to Bi = ???? , where ? is the overall heat transfer coefficient between thelumped object and the surroundings.The…

for COVID vaccine. The volume of the storage container will be 1 m³. You are debating on three shapes: (a) a rectangular shaped box with 20-cm thickness, 1-m 56.42 cm diameter, and width, and 5-m length; (b) a cylindrical storage with 4-m length and (a) a sphere. AS part of your design decision, find out the convective heat transfer rate from each of these containers. Assume the surface temperature to be uniform at –-10°C, and the ambient air is flowing at 20°C. The velocity of the air is 0.8 m/s. The direction of flow is over the 1-mx5-m sides of the box along the length (5-m) and across the cylinder and the sphere. Ignore the heat transfer from the end areas (i.e., the thickness of the rectangular box and the ends of the cylinder).
