Given:
thermal conductivity of stainless steel (theoretical value), k = 22 W/m K
density of stainless steel, = 7849 kg/m3
heat capacity of stainless steel, Cp = 461 J/kg K
radius, r = 0.015 m
x1 = 0.0075 m

Sample calculation 1: For time = 50 s


= (Tc - T) / (Ti T)

According to the value of and Fo from

We obtain the inverse Biot number as

According to the value of and Fo from

We obtain the inverse Biot number as

According to the value of and Fo from

Heisler Chart ,

We obtain the inverse Biot number as

Sample calculation:
From Part 2, we obtained the value of havg = 146.67 W/m2 K
thermal conductivity of brass (theoretical value), k = 108 W/m K
density of brass, = 8520 kg/m3
heat capacity of brass, Cp = 380 J/kg K
x1 = 0.0075 m
havg = 146.67 W/m2k
1/Bi = k / hx1
= 108 / 146.67(0.0075)

= k / Cp
= 108 / 8520(380)
= 3.34 x 10-5 Wm2/J

= 98.18
Sample calculation 1: For time 50 s
= (Tc - T) / (Ti T)
= (55.1-60.0) / (52.2-60.0)
= 0.6282

According to the value of and Bi from


Heisler Chart ,
we obtain Fo = 28
Fo = t / x2
t = Fox2 /
= 28(0.00752) / (3.34 x 10-5)
= 47.44 s

Sample calculation 2: For time 100 s


= (Tc - T) / (Ti T)
= (55.9 - 60)/ (52.2 - 60)
= 0.5256

According to the value of and Bi from


Heisler Chart ,
we obtain Fo = 56

Sample calculation:
From Part 2, we obtained the value of havg = 146.67 W/m2 K
thermal conductivity of brass (theoretical value),k = 108 W/m K
density of brass, = 8520 kg/m3
heat capacity of brass, Cp = 380 J/kg K
x1 = 0.0075 m
havg = 146.67 W/m2k
1/Bi = k / hx1
= 108 / 146.67(0.0075)

= k / Cp
= 108 / 8520(380)
= 3.34 x 10-5 Wm2/J

= 98.18

Sample calculation 1: For time 50 s


= (Tc - T) / (Ti T)
= (52.8 60.1) / (36.1 60.1)
= 0.3042

According to the value of and Bi from


Heisler Chart ,
we obtain Fo = 30
Fo = t / x2

A graph of specimens temperature (T3) versus time is plotted as shown above. From the
graph, when the time increases the specimens temperature increases. The specimen used
here is brass cylinder and stainless steel cylinder and their initial temperature is 37.0 C and
50.4 C. The temperature of the brass cylinder and stainless steel cylinder increase, with the
bath temperature as 60.4 C and 56.9 C initially. The temperature of the brass cylinder
changes rapidly at the beginning, but rather slowly later on. It can be compared that the
brass cylinder have a faster rate than that of stainless steel cylinder.

Temperature Heat Flow Chart
Based on the calculation in Part 2, we may analyse that the average heat transfer coefficient
of brass cylinder and stainless steel have the same value, which are 251.63 W/m2k.
From the value of heat transfer coefficient, we are able to evaluate the value of average
thermal conductivity of brass, which is k = 50.05 W/m k.

Graph 4: Graph of Temperature, T3 (C) versus Time Taken (s) For Brass Sphere

A graph of temperature T3 versus time taken of both theoretical and experimental for 20mm
thick stainless steel slab is plotted. From this graph, we may analyse that the temperature
shows an exponential curve for experimental time taken, while for the theoretical time taken,
the temperature increase faster than and rapidly in exponential curve. Both line shows an
increasing trend and then remain constant along a period of time.

Graph 5: Graph of Recorded Temperature (C) versus Time Taken (s)

A graph of recorded temperature versus time taken is plotted in this part. From the graph
above, we may analyse that the temperature decreases with time, almost in linear form when
the specimen is taken out from the equipment and is being cooled. The lowest temperature
when the specimen to reach is 37.5 C.
