Consider a flat plate with parallel airflow (top and bottom) characterized by u∞ 5 m/s, T∞ 20°C. Determine the average convection heat transfer coefficient, convective heat transfer rate, and drag force associated with an 2.8-m-long, 2.8-m wide flat plate with a surface temperature of 50°C. Assume the critical Reynolds number is 5x105.
Determine the average convection heat transfer coefficient, in W/m2·K.
Determine the convective heat transfer rate, in W.
Determine the drag force, in N.
