Question:

A long, heated, cylindrical steel rod is removed from a heat treatment furnace and has to be cooled to complete the process. If the surface temperature of the rod is at 150°C and the cooling fluid temperature is maintained at 25°C, what is the minimum diameter of the rod to produce turbulent natural convection heat transfer if it is held in a horizontal position in
(a) Air 

(b) Water 

Also, determine the initial heat transfer rate by natural convection from a 10-cm diameter rod in each of the two fluids.
