Calculation of cooling air volume for aluminum ingots
Thread Content
There is a cylindrical aluminum ingot with a volume of about 1.2 cubic meters and a temperature of around 300 degrees. It needs to be cooled to room temperature over 12 hours, and a fan is intended to be used for this purpose; what capacity fan should be selected? Thank you so much!
Its surface area is about 6.8 square meters
A fan should not be necessary; aluminum cooling relies on radiation and convection, and the heat transfer rate should be sufficient.
