In a metal manufacturing plant and its heat treatment process, a long, hexagonal copper extrusion (or rod) comes out of heat-treatment furnace at 400°C and is then quenched by immersing it in a 50°C air stream flowing perpendicular to its axis at 10 m/s as depicted in the figure. The surface of the copper has an emissivity of 0.9 due to oxidation in this process. The rod is 3 cm across opposing flat sides, and it has a cross-sectional area of 7.79 cm2, and a perimeter of 10.4 cm. Determine the time required for the center of the copper to cool to 100°C.
GIVEN
• A long hexagonal copper extrusion in an air stream flowing perpendicular to its axis
• Initial temperature (To) = 400°C
• Air temperature (T?) = 50°C
• Air velocity (V?) = 10 m/s
• Surface emissivity (?) = 0.9
• Distance across the flats (D) = 3 cm = 0.03 m
• Cross sectional area of the extrusion (Ac) = 7.79 cm2 = 7.79 × 10–4 m2
• Perimeter of the extrusion (P) = 10.4 cm = 0.104 m
FIND
• The time (t) required for the center of the copper to cool to 100°C
ASSUMPTIONS
• Variations of the copper properties with temperature are negligible
