I am trying to develop a model for the change in temperature of an agitated tank with a steam jacket with time.
In section 5.2 of Transport Processes and Unit Operations by Geankoplis, there is an equation (5.2-3) which describes the change of temperature of a solid object with time (eg dropping a hot steel ball in an oil bath). One of the variables is h, heat-transfer coefficient.
A chapter prior in section 4.13A, the book provides an equation for heat transfer coefficients in agitated vessels with jackets.
Would combining these two equations an appropriate method for modeling the change in vessel temperature with time? Is there a more common method for doing this?
