Solve the following problem:
Q: As part of a heat treatment process cylindrical, 304 stainless steel rods of 100-mm diameter are cooled from an initial temperature of 500°C by suspending them in an oil bath at 30°e. If a convection coefficient of 500 W/m2 · K is maintained by circulation of the oil, how long does it take for the centerline of a rod to reach a temperature of 50°C, at which point it is withdrawn from the bath? If 10 rods of length L = 1 m are processed per hour, what is the nominal rate at which energy must be extracted from the bath (the cooling load)?
