Example (cont.)

• d(t) ? t1/2

• Therefore, the layer solidifies very fast initially and then slows down as shown in the figure

• Note: we neglect contact resistance between the coating and the substrate and assume temperature of the coating material stays the same even after it solidifies.

• To solidify 2 mm thickness, it takes 0.43 seconds.
