Chapter 9, Problem 10RQ
  1. 10. The Peclet number is used in heat transfer in general and forced convection calculations in particular. It is a function of the two other dimensionless groups, the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number. Determine the functional form of these dimensionless groups, using Rayleighʼs method. The problem depends on the following variables:
ρ = Liquid density [=] kg/m3
Cp = Specific heat of liquid [=] J/(g oC)
µ = Liquid viscosity [=] kg/(m s)
a = Thermal diffusivity [=] m2/s
k = Thermal conductivity of the plate [=] W/(m oC)
x = Distance from edge of the plate [=] m
V = Liquid velocity [=] m/s

To understand the heat transfer from a bar in cross flow, you conduct a series of experiments measuring the average heat transfer coefficient as a function of the free stream velocity. A schematic of the experiment and the accompanying results are shown below. L = 0.3 m h [W/m²-K] 60 40 V [m/s] 20 15 a) You expect the important dimensionless parameters to be related by a function of the form Nu = CRe Pr where C, m, and n are constants. The film temperature in both the experiments is approximately the same. Use the given experimental results to determine the constant m b) Calculate h for L = 0.75 m and V = 30 m/s.
