KNOWN: Temperature requirements for cooling the spherical material of Example 5.6 in air and in a water bath. FIND: (a) For step 1, the time required for the center temperature to reach T(0,t) = 335C while 2 cooling in air at 20C with h = 10 W/m K; find the Biot number; do you expect radial gradients to be appreciable?; compare results with hand calculations in Example 5.6; (b) For step 2, time required for the center temperature to reach T(0,t) = 50C while cooling in water bath at 20C with h = 6000 2 W/m K; and (c) For step 2, calculate and plot the temperature history, T(x,t) vs. t, for the center and surface of the sphere; explain features; when do you expect the temperature gradients in the sphere to the largest? Use the IHT Models | Transient Conduction | Sphere model as your solution tool. SCHEMATIC:
ASSUMPTIONS: (1) One-dimensional conduction in the radial direction, (2) Constant properties. ANALYSIS: The IHT model represents the series solution for the sphere providing the temperatures evaluated at (r,t). A selected portion of the IHT code used to obtain results is shown in the Comments. (a) Using the IHT model with step 1 conditions, the time required for T(0,ta) = T_xt = 335C with r = 0 and the Biot number are:
t a = 94.2 s
Bi = 0.0025
<
Radial temperature gradients will not be appreciable since Bi = 0.0025 << 0.1. The sphere behaves as space-wise isothermal object for the air-cooling process. The result is identical to the lumpedcapacitance analysis result of the Text example. (b) Using the IHT model with step 2 conditions, the time required for T(0,tw) = T_xt = 50C with r = 0 and Ti = 335C is
t w = 3.0 s
<
Radial temperature gradients will be appreciable, since Bi = 1.5 >> 0.1. The sphere does not behave as a space-wise isothermal object for the water-cooling process. (c) For the step 2 cooling process, the temperature histories for the center and surface of the sphere are calculated using the IHT model. Continued

At early times, the difference between the center and surface temperature is appreciable. It is in this time region that thermal stresses will be a maximum, and if large enough, can cause fracture. Within 6 seconds, the sphere has a uniform temperature equal to that of the water bath.
COMMENTS: Selected portions of the IHT sphere model codes for steps 1 and 2 are shown below.
