If the centreline of the flow is along the centre of the duct where y = 0, the distance from the centreline to the surface of the duct is b = 25 mm, and the thermal conductivity of the fluid is 0.6 W/mK, what is the local heat transfer coefficient in the developed region of the flow?

Thank you.arrow_forwardAn array of 190 electrical components, each dissipating P = 35 W, are attached to the bottom surface of a square copper plate. The length of the edge of the square plate is L= 0.1 m. All of the energy dissipated in the electrical components is transferred to water flowing over the top surface of the copper plate. The water flow over the plate in a direction that is parallel to the edge of the plate. A proturbence at the leading edge of the plate acts to trip the bounary layer into turbulent flow. The plate may be assumed to be isothermal since the thermal conductivity of copper is so high. The water velocity and temperature far from the plate are u» = 2.3 m/s and To = 22 °C.
