Kern’s book on Heat Transfer shows computing the time to cool a tank using an external cooler, but it does not account for a concurrent heat source.

I have seen, but can’t recall an alternative method (Max Jakob? or Carslaw and Jaeger?) which accounts for a constant energy load added (reaction or mechanical) during the cool down. If someone would share the method I would be most grateful.

Or how would one modify the kern computation to accomplish the same thing?

Thank you for your time
