1. A thick metal plate (alpha = 3.5 x 10-6 m2/s and k = 0.7 W/m-K), initially at a uniform temperature of 100oC, is suddenly exposed to a convection environment of water at 20oC, giving a very large convection coefficient.
a. Sketch the surface heat flux, q", as a function of time
b. Using an explicit numerical scheme with a time step of 60 s, calculate the time required for the temperature to change 80 mm from the surface.
some data were missing in the question but by knowing these values we can put them into the equation i written in the solution and can know the exact answer.Note:plzz don't give dislike.......plzzz comment if you have any problem i will try to solve your problem...plzzz give thumbs up i am in need.......
