Suppose a thin vertical flat plate. 60 cm high and 40 cm wide, is immersed in a fluid flowing parallel to is surface. If the plate is at 40?C and the fluid at 10?C, estimate the Reynolds number at which buoyancy effects are essentially negligible for heat transfer from the plate if the fluid is:(a) Mercury,(b) Air, and(c) Water. Then calculate the corresponding fluid velocity for the three fluids.GIVENA thin flat plate immersed in a fluid flowing parallel to its surfacesPlate height (H) = 60 cm = 0.6 mPlate width (w) = 40 cm = 0.4 mPlate temperature (Ts) = 40?CFluid temperature (T??) = 10?CASSUMPTIONSSteady stateconditions

Auld T.- 10C T.- 40C w =0.4 m w g0-H

Auld T.- 10C T.- 40C w =0.4 m w g0-H
