A 2.5 cm sphere is maintained at 50?C in an air stream or a water stream, both at 20?C and 2 m/s velocity. Compare the rate of heat transfer and the drag on the sphere for both fluids.GIVENA sphere in an air stream or a water streamSphere diameter (D) = 2.5 cm = 0.025 mSphere temperature (Ts) = 50?CFluid temperature (Tf) = 20?CFluid velocity (U??) = 2 m/sASSUMPTIONSRadiation is negligibleFrom Appendix2
