  1. A cylindrical steel rod, 0.01 m in diameter and 0.2 m in length is first heated to 750°C and then immersed in a water bath at 100°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 250 W/m2K. The density, specific heat and thermal conductivity of steel are ρ = 7801 kg/m3, c = 473 J/kgK, and k = 43 W/mK, respectively. The time required for the rod to reach 300°C is ______ seconds.
    1. 413.49
    2. 34.49
    3. 43.49
    4. None of these
Correct Option: C

d = 0.01 m
L = 0.2 m, R = 7801 kg/m3
ti = 750 °C, ta = 100 °C
C = 473 J/Kg K, K = 43 W/mK
h = 250 W/m2K

= exp
-250 × 4 × τ
750 - 1007801 × 473 × 0.01

⇒ τ = 43.49
