Determine the time between initial exposure and ignition


Solve the below:

Q: A long wooden rod at 38°C with a 2.5 cm diameter is placed into an airstream at 600°C. The heat transfer coefficient between the rod and air is 28.4 W/(m2 K). If the ignition temperature of the wood is 427°C, I = 800 kg/m3, k = 0.173W/(m K), and c = 2500 J/(kg K), determine the time between initial exposure and ignition of the wood.

GIVEN

A long wooden rod is placed into an airstream

Rod outside diameter (D) = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Initial temperature of the rod (To) = 38°C

Temperature of the airstream (T) = 816°C

The heat transfer coefficient (hc) = 28.4 W/(m2 K)

The ignition temperature of the wood (TI) = 427°C

Density of the rod (I?) = 800 kg/m3

Thermal conductivity (k) = 0.173 W/(m K)

Specific heat (c) = 2500 J/(kgK)
