To manufacture an aluminum soda can, a thin sheet of aluminum of thickness 10-4m (100 micrometer) is placed in a die of a metal forming machine that punches the aluminum sheet into the shape of the can, making it 5.5 cm in diameter and 12.3 cm in height. During the metal drawing process, the temperature of the can rises to 50 °C. At this point the can has the side walls and the base, but does not have the top. This aluminum can is then placed in air at 20°C, where it cools down with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 10 W/m2K. As an engineer in this manufacturing plant, you have been asked to calculate the temperature history T(t) in this aluminum can as it cools down. You can ignore the surface area due to the edge on the top, and the surface area difference between the inner and outer surface due to the small aluminum thickness. Required:
a. What would be your choice of control volume?
b. Using the first law of thermodynamics for this control volume, derive the governing equation for the temperature history.
c. Solve the governing equation to find the temperature history.
d. How long will it take for the whole aluminum can to cool down below 30 °C?

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
