Heat Transfer
Assumptions:
1. Heat transfer occurs only in radial direction.
2. Properties of steel and convective heat transfer co-efficient remains constant.
Explanation:
For properties of stainless steel refer to appendix 2.
(Table 10)
For stainless steel of type 304,
Density ( )
Specific heat (C) = 461 J/kg.k
Thermal conductivity (k) = 14.4 W/mk
L = Characteristics dimension
For thin spherical shell characteristic dimension
L = t = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m
Since biot number is less than 0.1 lumped parameter analysis can be used.
In lumped parameter analysis, temperature and time are related as follows:
