    Plate heat loss

    Thanks for the information! I will study the suggested doc's and see what I can come up with (should be a challange for a "dumb" EE). One quick question, the plates are laying horz. Can I assume that both sides cool equally. There is no forced air due to Ti metallurgical reasons (sorry...

    Plate heat loss

    The piece has to "walk" on the table to an exit position. The rate of the walk it determined by the cooling time required. Plus the mechanics of the equipment do not permit a pyro at the exit postion(s). Thanks

    Plate heat loss

    No, this is a processing line where I need to ensure the plate has cooled done to an acceptable temperature (material handling requirements for Ti and contact with rubber suction cups Ti & SS). I am sure that the program could be imperical with a bunch of lookups, but I would prefer a...

    Plate heat loss

    I have a problem where I need to write a simple program to estimate the temperature of a steel (stainless & Ti) plate ranging in size from W:80-100" L:100-400" H:0.25-2". The surface temperature of the plate is measured as the plate is initially placed on a cooling bed. There is no forced air...
