Question:
A steel sphere (AISI 1010), \(100 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter, is coated with a dielectric material layer of thickness \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\) and thermal conductivity \(0.04 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}\). The coated sphere is initially at a uniform temperature of \(500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and is suddenly quenched in a large oil bath for which \(T_{\infty}=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(h=3000 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot \mathrm{K}\). Estimate the time required for the coated sphere temperature to reach \(150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Hint: Neglect the effect of energy storage in the dielectric material, since its thermal capacitance \((ho \mathrm{cV})\) is small compared to that of the steel sphere.
