A stainless-steel rod (AISI 304) of length ? = 100[??] and triangular cross-section is attached between two isothermal heat sinks at ?0 = 50℃. The rod perimeter is ? = 5[??]. When an unknown fluid at ?0 = 23℃ is in cross-flow over the rod, the temperature of the rod is midway between its two ends is measured to be ???? = 25℃. Determine the value of the convection heat transfer coefficient and the rate of heat loss from the rod.
