Question: A coolant flows through a rectangular channel ( gallery ) within the body of a mold used to form metal injection parts. The gallery dimensions

A coolant flows through a rectangular channel (gallery) within the body of a mold used to form metal injection parts. The gallery
dimensions are a=90mm and b=9.5mm, and the fluid flow rate is 2.110-3m3s. The coolant temperature is 15C, and the mold
wall is at an approximately uniform temperature of 140C.
To minimize corrosion damage to the expensive mold, it is customary to use a heat transfer fluid such as ethylene glycol, rather than
process water. To evaluate the effects on thermal performance, determine the convection coefficients, in Wm2+K, of water and
ethylene glycol for this application.
h_w = W/m^2K
h_eg = W/m^2K
A coolant flows through a rectangular channel (
