For a 7.5cm diameter cylinder of aluminium:
From Appendix 5 kaluminum = 220 Jm-1s-1oC-1, caluminum = 0.87 kJkg-1oC-1, ρ = 2640kgm-3
r = 3.75x 10-2m t = 85s
Ti = 5oC T = 47.5.oC T0 = 100 oC
Assuming the likely heat transfer coefficient to be around 20 Jm-2s-1 oC-1
Bi = hD/2k
= (20 x 0.075)/(2x220)
= 3.4 x 10-3
< 2
and therefore Equation 5.6 can be applied, and assuming the cylinder is long enough to neglect the ends:
A/V ( ((DL) / ((D 2L/4)
= 4/D
(T - T0 )/( Ti - T0) = exp(-hs At) / (c(V)
Therefore (47.5 – 100)/(5 -100) = exp((-hs x 4 x 85) / (870 x 220 x 0.075))
Now 52.5/ 95 = 0.552
And ln 0.552 = - 0.593
hs = (0.593 x 870 x 220 x 0.075)/( 4 x 85)
= 25 Jm-2s-1 oC-1 or W m-2 oC-1
