Consider a heat treatment process in which steel rods with a 10 cm diameter at an initial temperature of 600°C are inserted into an oil bath at 25°C. Assuming a convection coefficient of 400 W/(m2 K) between the oil and the rod, estimate how long it takes for the centerline of the rod to cool to 60°C. If the steel rod, which is 1 m long, is withdrawn from the bath at this point in the process, i.e., when the centerline temperature has reached 60°C, estimate the rate at which heat must be extracted from the oil to maintain its temperature constant during the process of treating 25 rods per hour.

GIVEN
• Heat treatment of steel rod inserted in oil bath
• Rod outside diameter = 0.1 m
• Initial temperature (T0) = 600°C
• Oil bath temperature (T?) = 25°C
• The average heat transfer coefficient ch = 400 W/(m2 K)
FIND
• Time it takes for centerline of the rod to cool to 600C.
• Rate at which heat must be extracted from oil to maintain its temperature constant during the process of treating 25 rods per hour.
ASSUMPTIONS
• Radial conduction only in billet
• Uniform and constant properties
