A metallic airfoil of elliptical cross section has a
mass of 50 kg, surface area of 12 m2, and a specific heat of 0.50
kJ/kg °C. The airfoil is
subjected to air flow at 1 atm, 25°C, and 6m/s along its 3-m-long
side. The average
temperature of the airfoil is observed to drop from 160°C to 140°C
within 1 min of cooling.
Assuming the surface temperature of the airfoil to be equal to its
average temperature and
using momentum-heat transfer analogy, determine the average
friction coefficient of the
airfoil surface. (The air property: ρ=1.184 kg/m3, Cp=1.007 kJ/kg
K, Pr = 0.7296)
