3. A plate 0.3 m long and 0.1 m wide, with a thickness of 12 mm is made from stainless steel (k = 16 W/m °C), the top surface is exposed to an airstream of temperature 20 °C. In an experiment, the plate is heated by an electrical heater (also 0.3 m by 0.2 m) positioned on the underside of the plate and the temperature of the plate adjacent to the heater is maintained at 100 °C. A voltmeter and ammeter are connected to the heater and these read 200 V and 0.25 A, respectively. Assuming that the place is perfectly insulated on all sides except the top surface, what is the convection heat transfer coefficient?

3. A plate 0.3 m long and 0.1 m wide, with a thickness of 12 mm is made from stainless
steel (k = 16 W/m °C), the top surface is exposed to an airstream of temperature 20 °C. In
an experiment, the plate is heated by an electrical heater (also 0.3 m by 0.2 m) positioned
on the underside of the plate and the temperature of the plate adjacent to the heater is
maintained at 100 °C. A voltmeter and ammeter are connected to the heater and these
read 200 V and 0.25 A, respectively. Assuming that the place is perfectly insulated on all
sides except the top surface, what is the convection heat transfer coefficient?
