Â
A steel rod 12.5 mm in diameter and 20 cm long has one end attached to a heat reservoir at 250OC. The bar is initially maintained at this temperature throughout. It is then subjected to an airstream at 30OC such that the convection heat transfer coefficient is 35 W/m2. OC. Estimate the time required for the temperature midway along the length of the rod to attain a value of 190OC.Â
