- Adrian is trying to heat up a sphere (radius = 0.05 m) of
unknown material in a furnace. She wants to know how long it will
take for the object to heat up to 300°C when moved from room
temperature (25°C) to a 600°C furnace. Use the following
information to determine the time (in minutes) it will take for the
sphere to reach 300°C after transfer to the furnace.
Make sure to show validation for any equations that you
use.
Density of object = 7400
kg/m3
Specific heat capacity = 520
J/(kg*K)
Conductivity = 50 W/(m*K)
Heat Transfer Coefficient = 45
W/(m2*K)
