Time required for steel rod to come to temperature throughout
Time required for steel rod to come to temperature throughout
(OP)
Hello,
I have to test a component at a low temperature, -40°C. It is essentially a steel rod, with a .74" OD and is 10" long. I am placing it in a cold chamber at -40°C. How do I find the time required for the steel rod to be -40°C all the way through the rod?
Thanks,
Andrew

I think I may be able to find real-life examples of heat transfer coefficients that would be representative of my test chamber.

From a practical point of view, set the chamber temperature a bit lower, then throw the piece in overnight and call it good enough.
