A long wooden rod at 38°C with a 2.5 cm OD is placed into an airstream at 600°C. The heat transfer coefficient between the rod and air is 28.4 W/(m2 K). If the ignition temperature of the wood is 427°C, ? = 800 kg/m3, k = 0.173 W/(m K), and c = 2500 J/(kg K), determine the time between initial exposure and ignition of the wood.
