A mild-steel cylindrical billet, 25-cm in diameter, is to be raised to a minimum temperature of 760°C by passing it through a 6-m-long strip type furnace. If the furnace gases are at 1538°C and the overall heat transfer coefficient on the outside of the billet is 68 W/(m2 K), determine the maximum speed at which a continuous billet entering at 204°C can travel through the furnace.

GIVEN
• A mild-steel cylindrical billet is passed through a furnace
• Diameter of billet = 25 cm = 0.25 m
• Billet is to be raised to a minimum temperature of 760°C
• Length of furnace = 6 m
• Temperature of furnace gases (T?) = 1538°C
• The overall heat transfer coefficient h c= 68 W/(m2 K)
• Initial temperature of billet (To) = 204°C
FIND
• The maximum speed at which a continuous billet can travel through the furnace
ASSUMPTIONS
• The heat transfer coefficient is constant
• Billet is 1% carbon steel
• Radial conduction only in the billet, neglect axial conduction
