Abstract

Mathematical Study of the Temperature Changes in a Hot Body after Quenching, Assuming Various Conditions of Heat Flow from the Surface.\char22{}(1) Assuming no thermal resistance at the surface, theoretical cooling curves for a steel ball and a steel plate are computed (Fig. 1). (2) Assuming constant thermal resistance, the general equation is derived for the case of a cylinder of finite length (Eq. 17). (3) Assuming a vapor layer which conducts the heat to a liquid layer at rest, the general solutions for the temperatures at the surface of a large body (Eq. 41) and of a plate (Fig. 5) are obtained. (4) Assuming that the heat after passing through the vapor layer is carried away by convection at a uniform rate, the equation and curves are obtained for the case of a plate (Eq. 58; Fig. 6).
