Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-1 > Unsteady Heat Conduction
A steel ball of 10 mm diameter at 1000 K is required to be cooled to 350 K by immersing it in a water environment at 300 K. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 1000 W/m2-K. Thermal conductivity of steel is 40 W/m-K. The time constant for the cooling process τ is 16 s. The time required (in s) to reach the final temperature is ________.

Correct : 42.2
