Question: Consider a short cylinder 150 mm high and with a diameter of 150 mm. The cylinder is initially at a uniform temperature of 530 K and cools in ambient air at 300 K. Assume steel with a = 6.2 X 10·6 m2 s·1 and k = 35 W m·1 K'1•
a) Write the differential equation that describes the temperature within the cylinder. Need Assignment Help?
b) Calculate the temperature at the geometric center after 3600 s of cooling.
