racookpe1978,
Yes, you are correct. It is like forced convection while rotating as there is a slight amount of air that moves over plates while spinning but that would be incidental as I need to know what temperature the discs are roughly at the end of 5 min cool down. There is only the...
thanks for replying...
racookpe1978,
an approximation is good enough for the result of this calculation and doesn't need to be totally accurate.
You bring up many good questions and I can elaborate further. The plates are within a spring set brake I am designing that requires an emergency...
I am trying to calculate what the final temperature would be of a stainless steel block heated to 500°F then sit in ambient air temp of 131 °F for 300 seconds. The variables are listed below:
density (p):0.290 lb/in^3
thermal conductivity (k):0.0312 Btu*in/s*ft^2*°F
Surface area (A): 995.47...
Yeah that is what I had figured ( put formula as text, next to Mathcad formula) but was wondering if there was another way. I know what Mathcad is doing but others don't and I always have to explain it. It just makes discussion longer when I have to explain what Mathcad is doing rather than if...
Is there a way to display the unit conversion factors within the Mathcad equation without Mathcad calculating the conversion twice? I use Mathcad pretty extensively and many times I need to present calculations via a teleconference and I always get questions on the units and equations don't...
