Question

Air at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 25°C is in parallel flow at a velocity of 5 m/s over a 1‐m‐long flat plate that is heated from below with a uniform heat flux of 1,250 W/m^2. Assume the flow is fully turbulent over the length of the plate.

 

(a) Calculate the plate surface temperature, Ts(L), and the local convection coefficient, hx(L), at the trailing edge, x = L.

 

 

(b) Calculate the average temperature of the plate surface, T¯s.

 

 

(c) Plot the variation of the surface temperature, Ts(x), and the convection coefficient, hx(x), with distance on the same graph. Explain the key features of these distributions
