This may be a double post...sorry if it is.
Im trying to predict the amount of time to heat a sample to a certain temperature using a forced convection oven.
Its a small sample sitting in the oven. Can i neglect internal energy of the sample and set the Heat input via Conv and Cond equal to the work supplied by the oven?
I contacted the manufacturer of the oven and they gave me a wattage value supplied to the heating element (3kW) Typically how much of this is actually supplied to the oven? Also, can i assume this input is constant?
Thanks,
This is a pretty stupid question, but im just starting out my engineering career and i've got lots to learn.
