Hi All,
Quick update.
In the end i used Lumped thermal analysis. This method seemed to give meaningfull results.
The heating output from the oven was 600kW, not sure where i got 600W from.
Thanks again for all your help!
Kind regards

Hi, Thanks for the responses,
The oven is forced convection, and should have a consistent temperature of 200^c throughout the envelope.
The reason for the question is we are having a 37m oven installed for powder coating. I need to make sure that the initial temperature can be reached, and...
Hi,
I need to calculate how long it would take a 1m x 0.5m x 0.003 mild steel sheet to reach to 200^c from ambient 20^c when placed in an oven at 200^C.
The CP of mild steel is 0.490kj/kgK and density is 7860kg/m^3
I can get to the energy required, but im struggling finding a method for time...
Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out a way to calculate the bending force required to permanently deform a steel plate.
The process involves pressing a 300mm wide, 2mm thick s275jr plate into a shaped die. The desired outcome is to form a 90mm radius that passes along the entire width of the...
