Question:

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rod, estimate how long it takes for the centerline of the rod to cool to 60°C. If the steel rod, which is 1 m long, is withdrawn from the bath at this point in the process, i.e., when the centerline temperature has reached 60°C, estimate the rate at which heat must be extracted from the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.
