Question:
Consider the plane wall of thickness 2L, the infinite cylinder of radius ro, and the sphere of radius ro. Each configuration is subjected to a constant surface heat flux q"s. Using the approximate solutions of Table 5.2b for Fo ≥ 0.2, derive expressions for each of the three geometries for the quantity (Ts,act – Ti)/(Ts,lc – Ti). In this expression, Ts,act is the actual surface temperature as determined by the relations of Table 5.2b, and Ts,lc is the temperature associated with lumped capacitance behavior. Determine criteria associated with (Ts,act – Ti)/ (Ts,lc – Ti) ≤ 1.1, that is, determine when the lumped capacitance approximation is accurate to within 10%.
