Summary

Heating of a thermally thin plate in gas at constant temperature: the temperature rise as a fraction of the gas-plate difference, against time divided by the time constant ρcb/h. Based on Rockett and Milke (2002), p. 1-33.

Original illustration for Biot number, level 4 Expert.

  • Source basis: Rockett and Milke (2002), p. 1-33 (Eq. 13a and tc = ρcb/h)
  • Alt text: Rising curve of dimensionless plate temperature against time divided by the time constant, reaching 0.63 at 1 and 0.95 at 3.
