Question
**Problem Statement:**

Find out the local convection coefficient for a flow over a flat plate at a distance of 0.2 m from the leading edge. The fluid is water at 60°C with a velocity of 2 m/s. The plate maintains a uniform temperature. Assume the film temperature to be 40°C. 

Calculated local convection coefficient: \( 6442.9 \, \text{W/m}^2 \cdot \text{K} \)

**Question:**

Is the flat plate losing heat to or gaining heat from the water flow? Justify your answer.

(Note: The phrase "gaining heat" is underlined in red, indicating emphasis on this part of the question.)
