Question: ( a ) Differentiate between local convection heat transfer coefficient and average ( overall ) convection heat transfer coefficient. Air stream at 2 7 C

(a) Differentiate between local convection heat transfer coefficient and average
(overall) convection heat transfer coefficient.
Air stream at 27C is moving at 0.3ms across a 100 W electric bulb at 127C. If
the bulb is approximated by a 60 mm diameter sphere, estimate the heat transfer
rate and the percentage of power lost due to convection. Take (i) physical prop-
erties of air at 77C as Kinematic Viscosity =2.0810-5m2s; Conductivity ( k )
=0.03Wmk
(ii) Control equation =NuD=0.37ReD0.6
