Thanks very much - I'll go away and do the sums!

Thanks Ione, that's really helpful. I can assume that the oven will ramp up to ambient + 50°C in 30 minutes and if I assume that no heat transfer takes place to the plate during that period I will be on the safe side and this will simplify the math. Can I assume the units of the various...

Thanks for your input - that's pretty much what we are doing now. Effectively an estimate. However, I was hoping for a more definitive theoretical approach to the problem. Thanks again though - I appreciate your input.

We need to calculate how long it takes for an aluminium plate to assume the same temperature as the heated air in an oven. To a first approximation it may be assumed that the amount of heat available for the heated air in the oven is effectively infinite compared to the mass of the aluminium...
