Tabulated below are some experimental data obtained by passing n-butyl alcohol at a bulk temperature of 15?C over a heated flat plate (0.3 m long, 0.9 m wide, surface temperature of 60?C). Correlate the experimental data by appropriate dimensionless numbers and compare the line which best fits the data with equation 4.38.

Velocity (m/s) Average heat transfer coefficient (w/(mc) 1.14 0.089 0.305 0.488 282

GIVENn-butyl alcohol flowing over a heated flat plateBulk temperature (Tb) = 15?CPlate surface temperature (Tp) = 60?CPlate length (L) = 0.3 mPlate width (w) = 0.9 mThe experimental data given aboveASSUMPTIONSSteady stateAlcohol flows parallel to the length of the platePlate temperature is uniform
