Answer:
1791 secs ≈ 29.85 minutes
Explanation:
( Initial temperature of slab ) T1 = 300° C
temperature of water ( Ts ) = 25°C
T2 ( final temp of slab ) = 50°C
distance between slab and water jet = 25 mm
<u>Determine how long it will take to reach T2</u>
First calculate the thermal diffusivity
∝ = 50 / ( 7800 * 480 ) = 1.34 * 10^-5 m^2/s
<u>next express Temp as a function of time </u>
T( 25 mm , t ) = 50°C
next calculate the time required for the slab to reach 50°C at a distance of 25mm
attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution
