Problem 3 An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 1 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts = 500 K. When placed in atmospheric air at a temperature of T∞ = 400K and moving with a velocity of V = 100 m/s, the average heat flux from the surface to the air is 20,000 W/m². If a second object of the same shape, but with a characteristic length of L = 5 m, is maintained at a surface temperature of Ts = 500 K and is placed in atmospheric air at T∞ = 400 K, what will the value of the average convection coefficient be if the air velocity is V = 20 m/s?

Problem 3
An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 1 m and is maintained at a uniform
surface temperature of Ts = 500 K. When placed in atmospheric air at a temperature of T∞ = 400K
and moving with a velocity of V = 100 m/s, the average heat flux from the surface to the air is
20,000 W/m². If a second object of the same shape, but with a characteristic length of L = 5 m, is
maintained at a surface temperature of Ts = 500 K and is placed in atmospheric air at T∞ = 400 K,
what will the value of the average convection coefficient be if the air velocity is V = 20 m/s?
