A hot steel sphere is dropped into a large cold oil bath as part of a quenching process to harden the steel. Assume that the thermal capacitance of the steel sphere is C = 440J/°C and the average convective thermal resistance between the sphere and the oil is R = 0.05°C/W. If the sphere is originally at T. = 800°C and the oil is at 25°C, how long does it take for the sphere to approximately reach the temperature of the oil? = >> 100 seconds 88 seconds << 1 second 22 seconds
