During a fire, the trunks of some dry oak trees (k = 0.17 W/m·K and a = 1.28 * 10-7 m2/s) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 30°C are exposed to hot gases at 520°C for a period of 5 h, with a heat transfer coefficient of 65 W/m2·K on the surface. The ignition temperature of the trees is 410°C. Treating the trunks of the trees as long cylindrical rods of diameter 20 cm, determine if these dry trees will ignite as the fire sweeps through them. Solve this problem using analytical one-term approximation method (not the Heisler charts).

Question
During a fire, the trunks of some dry oak trees
(k = 0.17 W/m·K and a = 1.28 * 10-7 m2/s) that are initially
at a uniform temperature of 30°C are exposed to hot gases
at 520°C for a period of 5 h, with a heat transfer coefficient
of 65 W/m2·K on the surface. The ignition temperature of
the trees is 410°C. Treating the trunks of the trees as long
cylindrical rods of diameter 20 cm, determine if these dry
trees will ignite as the fire sweeps through them. Solve this
problem using analytical one-term approximation method (not
the Heisler charts).
