Explanation of Solution

Given:

Initial uniform temperature (Ti) is 20°C.

Depth from the surface (x) is 1cm.

Uniform heat flux (q˙s) is 8kW/m2.

Total exposure time (t) is 60s.

Calculation:

Write the properties of the stainless steel.

  k=14.9W/mKα=3.95×106m2/s

Calculate the temperature of the stainless steel slab from the surface (T(x,t)).

  T(x,t)=Ti+q˙sk[4αtπexp(x24αt)xerfc(x2αt)]=20°C+8kW/m214.9W/mK[4(3.95×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((1cm)24(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))(1cm)erfc((1cm)2(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))]=20°C+8000W/m214.9W/mK[4(3.95×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)erfc((0.01m)2(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))]=20°C+8000W/m214.9W/mK[4(3.95×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)erfc(0.3248)]

Refer Table 18-4, “The complementary error function”, obtain the value corresponding to the error function of 0.3248.

  erfc(0.3248)=0.646

Calculate the temperature of the stainless steel slab from the surface (T(x,t)).

  T(x,t)=20°C+8000W/m214.9W/mK[4(3.95×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(3.95×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)(0.646)]=20°C+4.9°C=24.9°C

Thus, the temperature of the stainless steel slab from the surface is 24.9°C.

Write the properties of the copper.

  k=401W/mKα=117×106m2/s

Calculate the temperature of the copper slab from the surface (T(x,t)).

  T(x,t)=Ti+q˙sk[4αtπexp(x24αt)xerfc(x2αt)]=20°C+8kW/m2401W/mK[4(117×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((1cm)24(117×106m2/s)(60s))(1cm)erfc((1cm)2(117×106m2/s)(60s))]=20°C+8000W/m2401W/mK[4(117×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(117×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)erfc((0.01m)2(117×106m2/s)(60s))]=20°C+8000W/m2401W/mK[4(117×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(117×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)erfc(0.05968)]

Refer Table 18-4, “The complementary error function”, obtain the value corresponding to the error function of 0.05968.

  erfc(0.05968)=0.9327

Calculate the temperature of the copper slab from the surface (T(x,t)).

  T(x,t)=20°C+8000W/m2401W/mK[4(117×106m2/s)(60s)πexp((0.01m)24(117×106m2/s)(60s))(0.01m)(0.9327)]=20°C+1.7°C=21.7°C

Thus, the temperature of the copper slab from the surface is 21.7°C.
