A large 2.54-cm.-thick copper plate is placed between two air streams. The heat transfer coefficient on the one side is 28 W/(m2 K) and on the other side is 57 W/(m2 K). If the temperature of both streams is suddenly changed from 38°C to 93°C, determine how long it will take for the copper plate to reach a temperature of 82°C.

GIVEN
• A large copper plate between two air streams whose temperatures suddenly change
• Plate thickness (2L) = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m
• The heat transfer coefficients are
? lch = 28 W/(m2 K)
? 2ch = 57 W/(m2 K)
• Air temperature changes from 38°C to 93°C
FIND
• How long it will take for the copper plate to reach a temperature of 82°C
ASSUMPTIONS
• The initial temperature of the plate is 38°C
• The plate can be treated as an infinite slab
