Question 1
4-23 A brick of 203 x 102 x 57 mm in dimension is being burned in a kiln to ll00 C, and then
allowed to cool in a room with ambient air temperature of 30C and convection heat transfer
coefficient of 5 W/m2-K. If the brick has properties of = 1920 kg/m3 , cp = 790 J/kg-K, and
k= 0.90 W/m-K, determine the time required to cool the brick to a temperature difference of 5
o

C from the ambient air temperature.
