This document contains 3 unsteady heat transfer problems:
1. A cylindrical ingot passing through a furnace must reach 800°C before exiting. The maximum speed for the ingot to reach this temperature is calculated given properties of the ingot and furnace conditions.
2. The time required for a copper slab's temperature to reach 200°C is calculated, after its temperature is suddenly lowered from 400°C to 100°C.
3. The time to heat water from 288.8K to 338.7K is calculated, as the vessel containing the water is immersed in a steam bath held at a higher temperature. Heat transfer properties and conditions are provided.

1. A cylindrical ingot 10 cm diameter and 30 cm long passes through a heat treatment furnace, which is 6 m in length. The ingot must reach 800 o C before it comes out of the furnace. The furnace gas is at 1250 o C and ingot initial temperature is 90 o C. What is the maximum speed with which the ingot should move in the furnace to attain the required temperature? The combined convective and radiative heat transfer coefficient is 100 W/(m 2 -K). The thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity of the ingot steel are 40 W/(m-K) and 1.16x10 -5
m 2 /sec.
2. A 100 cm 100 cm copper slab of 10 cm thick has a uniform temperature of 400 o C. Its temperature is suddenly lowered to 100 o C and maintained. Calculate the time required for the plate to reach the temperature of 200 o C. Take copper slab properties as, = 9000 kg/m 3 ; Cp = 0.38 kJ/(kg-K); k = 370 W/(m-K); and h = 100 W/(m-K).
3. A vessel is filled with 0.0283m 3 of water initially at 288.8 K. The vessel, which is well stirred, is suddenly immersed in a steam bath held at 377.6 K. The overall heat-transfer coefficient U between the steam and water is 1136W/(m 2 -K) and the area is 0.372m 2 . Neglecting the heat capacity of the walls and agitator, calculate the time in hours to heat the water to 338.7 K. [Hint: Since the water is well stirred, its temperature is uniform.]
