When Bi << 1, which of the following is approximately true for the temperature, T, of the
object being transiently cooled? Explain your reasoning.
a. 𝑇 =𝑓( 𝑡) only
b. 𝑇 = 𝑓(𝑡) and one spatial dimension
c. 𝑇 = 𝑓(𝑡, 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧)
a;
Bi << 1 implies a highly conducting solid or a small heat-transfer coefficient of the
surrounding fluid. In these cases, the temperature is nearly uniform in the solid, and so does
not vary significantly with position, only with time.

Consider a plate of material X, originally at 𝑇0, that is exposed to fluid at 𝑇∞< 𝑇0 and a given
heat-transfer coefficient ℎ at time 𝑡 = 0. If the plate is now replaced with material Y with a
higher thermal conductivity but the same plate size and given heat-transfer coefficient, how
will the time for the center of the plate to cool to a given value change with the new material
Y?
There is not enough information given in the problem statement to answer this question.
Even though material Y has a higher thermal conductivity, which could lead to faster cooling,
it may also have a higher volumetric heat capacity (density times specific heat capacity) than
material X, which could lead to comparatively slower cooling.
Cite two reasons that insulation is used for chemical engineering process equipment.
1. To keep a process stream at the desired temperature.
2. To invoke energy savings by reducing heat loss.
3. To promote safety by covering exposed, hot surfaces.
