Question 11

A titanium alloy component of mass 0.75 kg is quenched in an industrial oil bath to harden it. Its initial temperature is 430 ∘C430\text{ }^\circ\text{C}430 ∘C, and it cools to 80 ∘C80\text{ }^\circ\text{C}80 ∘C over a time period of 3.5 minutes3.5\text{ minutes}3.5 minutes.

The specific heat capacity of the titanium alloy is 520 J kg-1 K-1.

What is the average thermal power transferred from the component to the oil bath during this process?
