High-strength steel is required for use in building structures and equipment (e.g., cranes). It is produced by heat treating quench-hardened steel in a process called tempering that reduces brittleness and imparts toughness. In a production facility, alloy steel plates ( k = 50 W/m K, c = 460 J/kg K, and ρ = 7865 kg/m3) of thickness 3.0 cm have to be tempered in a convective oven by heating them to 550°C. If the plates are initially at 40°C and the air inside the heat treating oven is at 700°C with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 45 W/m2 K, determine how long the plate has to remain in the oven.

Awatermelon initially at 35°C is to be caoled by dropping itinto a lake at 15°C. After 4 h and 40 min of cooling the center temperature of watermelon is measured to be 20°C. Treating the watermelon 25 a 20-c-diameter sphere and using the properties k = 0.618 Wim
A 30.14 g stainless steel ball bearing at 117.82°C is placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 120 mL of water at 18.44°C. If the specific heat of the ball bearing is 0.474 J/g-°C, calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume the calorimeter to have negligible heat capacity. Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-°C .
Glass tends to break under high temperatures due to thermal shock which is caused by a high temperature. A sample of glass is said to breakat190C.Ifaglasspanethatis1sqmand5cmthickwith1 ? ?−°C is subject to a heat of 1 kW, is this enough to reach the temperature limit to break the glass? The cool side of the pane has a temperature of 30C.
