Air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 50°C is in
parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated
to a uniform temperature of 100°C. The plate has a length of 0.24 m
(in the flow direction) and a width of 0.12 m. The Reynolds number
based on the plate length is 30,000. (a) What is the rate of heat
transfer from the plate to the air? (b) If the free stream velocity
of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm, what
is the rate of heat transfer? Assume the critical Reynolds number
is 5 x 105.
Determine the rate of heat transfer for (a), in W.
