Question

(25 points) Air at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 25°C is flowing over a 1-m long flat plate that is heated from below with a constant surface heat flux of 1250 W/m². Part 1: (a) For a velocity of $u_\infty$=0.1 m/s, calculate the Reynolds number, is the flow laminar or turbulent? (b) For a velocity of $u_\infty$=0.1 m/s, calculate the convection coefficient $h_x(L)$ at the trailing edge where x=L. Part 2: (c) For a velocity of $u_\infty$=15 m/s, calculate the Reynolds number, is the flow laminar or turbulent? (d) For a velocity of $u_\infty$=15 m/s, calculate the convection coefficient $h_x(L)$ at the trailing edge where x=L. Part 3: (e) Compare the results of parts 1 and 2, what conclusion can you draw from changing the velocity about the convection coefficient and flow behavior? Discuss your results in 2-3 sentences. Properties of Air: v=18.76x10$^{-6}$ m²/s k=0.0284 W/mK Pr=0.703

Determine the local convection heat transfer coefficient in W/m2.K. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The local convection heat transfer coefficient is W/m2.K.

Heat transfer by convection from a surface area A to a surrounding fluid can be calculated using the relation: Q = hA(Ts - T∞), where h = heat transfer coefficient (W/m^2°C), Ts = surface temperature (degrees Celsius), T∞ = free stream fluid temperature (degrees Celsius). If 25 degrees Celsius air flows over a 2.5 m^2 surface maintained at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, Find the heat transfer for a heat transfer coefficient of 40 W/m^2°C.

Determine the heat transfer by convection over a surface of 0.5 m^2 area if the surface is at 160 °C and the fluid is at 40 °C. The value of the convective heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m^2K. Also, estimate the temperature gradient at the surface given k = 1 W/mK.

00:01 We know the reynolds number is is rho into l into v upon mu.
00:18 So we put the respective values as given in quotient like velocity is given as 6 .5 upon 1 .918 into 10 to the power minus 5 and if you solve this you will get 3 .82 into 10 to the power 8.
00:42 Now we need to compare this number.
00:46 See if we say this number is greater than 5 into 10 to the power 5 so we can say that the flow is turbulent.
00:59 See about the nature of the flow you can tell by seeing its reynolds value, reynolds numbers values.
01:06 Here we can say this is greater than 5 into 10 to the power 5 so the flow is turbulent...
