A long steel rod (2 cm in diameter, 2-m-long) has been heat-treated and quenched to a temperature of 100°C in an oil bath. To cool the rod further, it is necessary to remove it from the bath and expose it to room air. Will the faster cool-down result from cooling the cylinder in the vertical or horizontal position? How long will the two methods require to allow the rod to cool to 40°C in 20°C air?

GIVEN • A long steel rod in air • Diameter (D) = 2 cm = 0.02 m • Length (L) = 2 m • Initial temperature (Ts,i) = 100°C • Air temperature (T?) = 20°C FIND (a) Is it faster to cool the rod vertically or horizontally? (b) Time for rod to cool to 40°C in each position ASSUMPTIONS • Steel is 1% carbon PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS for 1% carbon steel Thermal conductivity (ks) = 43 W/(m K) Specific heat (c) = 473 J/(kg K) Density (?) = 7801 kg/m3 for dry air at the initial mean temperature of 60°C Thermal expansion coefficient (?) = 0.003 1/K Thermal conductivity (k) = 0.0279 W/(m K) Kinematic viscosity (?) = 19.4 × 10–6 m2/s Prandtl number (Pr) = 0.71
