Does a steady state condition refer to attainment of maximum temperature on a body under uniform heating or (Ts-Ta) is constant at any interval of time?
Could you explain?
Raja, please have a little patience to read through the attachment. I promise you, it will help you no end.
Hi, anyone out there writing a book on Heat Transfer? You may use this example, but remember you saw it here first!
Raghavan,
please find my attachment and please write your view on my opinion/question
thanks in advance
Dear raghavan
if induction furnace considered for analysis, if there is no thermostat what could be maximum temperature that may be generated within the furnace.
Will it reach up to the melting point of heating coils.
If there is no temperature control and the furnace is "perfectly" insulated, then certainly the heating coils will melt, because the heat has nowhere else to go and the temperature of the coils will keep rising. Usually, such furnaces are quite well insulated, therefore the temperature controller is very important. I know of a case where, even though the controller was functioning, the terminals of the control thermocouple were inadvertently interchanged and the coils melted down. This is why in the thermocouple sets sold by Omega and other illustrious manufacturers, they have a male-female connection, to avoid interchanging of the + and - of the control thermocouple.
