A thin flat plate is situated in an airstream. The main flow of the air (not close to the plate) is at 1 atm pressure, 20 C and flowing across the plate at a velocity of 4 m/s. The plate is 0.55 m in length. Its entire surface is maintained at 60 C. Only the top surface of the plate is exposed to the flow. Physical properties can be found in the Appendix of the text. Assume the flow is fully laminar. Show all work to answer the following: per unit width? a. What is the mean convection coefficient b. What is the total heat transfer rate per unit width, q? c. What is the temperature, T, at the midpoint of the velocity boundary layer at the downstream "x" dimension of 0.12 m. ? A thin flat plate is situated in an airstream.
