26
Q

What are the assumptions of the lumped capacitance method?

A
  1. Temperature of the solid is spatially uniform at any given instant. 2. Resistance to conduction within the solid is small compared to the resistance between the solid and its surroundings.
27
Q

What happens when Bi &laquo_space;1?

A

The resistance to conduction within the solid is much less than the resistance to convection which means we can assume uniform temperature distribution.

28
Q

What happens when Bi&raquo_space; 1?

A

The temperature difference across the solid is much larger than between the surface, so the temperature gradient is more significant.
