The average heat transfer co-efficient over the entire length of the plate (h<sub>a</sub>) and the local heat transfer co-efficient (h<sub>L</sub>), in case of heat transfer over a flat plate in lminar zone is related as

Correct Answer: H<sub>a</sub> = 2h<sub>L</sub>

Experimental results indicate that the local heat transfer coefficient h g for flow over a flat plate with an extremely rough surface is approximated by the relation h x = a x -0.12 Where a is a constant coefficient and x is distance from the leading edge of the plate. What is the relation between this local heat transfer coefficient and the average heat transfer coefficient for a plate of length x?

A stream of air at 100 kPa pressure and 300 K is flowing on the top surface of a thin flat sheet of solid naphthalene of length 0.2 m with a velocity of 20 m/sec. The other data are: Mass diffusivity of naphthalene vapor in air = 6 * 10 –6 m2/sec Kinematic viscosity of air = 1.5 * 10 –5 m2.sc Concentration of naphthalene at the air-solid naphthalene interface = 1 * 10 – 5 kmol/m3 Calculate the overage mass transfer coefficient over the flat plate. Note: For heat transfer over a flat plate, convective heat transfer coefficient for laminar flow can be calculated by the equation. Nu = 0.664 ReL1/2 Pr1/3 you may use analogy between mass and heat transfer.

If average heat transfer co-efficient is $${{\text{h}}_{\text{a}}}$$ and the local coefficient at the end of the plate is $${{\text{h}}_l}$$ then in case of heat transfer to a fluid flowing over a flat plate, heated over its entire length

Ambient air at 20 degree Celsius flows past a flat plate with a sharp leading edge at 3 m/s. The plate is heated uniformly throughout its entire length and is maintained at a surface temperature of 40 degree Celsius. Calculate the local convective heat transfer coefficient. Assume that transition occurs at a critical Reynolds number of 500000

A flat plate 1 m by 1 m is placed in a wind tunnel. The velocity and temperature of free stream air are 80 m/s and 10 degree Celsius. The flow over the whole length of the plate is made turbulent by turbulizing grid placed upstream of the plate. Find the heat flow from the surface of the plate

Air at 20 degree Celsius flows over a flat plate maintained at 75 degree Celsius. Measurements shows that temperature at a distance of 0.5 mm from the surface of plate is 50 degree Celsius. Presuming thermal conductivity of air is 0.0266 W/m K, estimate the value of local heat transfer coefficient

A flat plate 1 m by 1 m is placed in a wind tunnel. The velocity and temperature of free stream air are 80 m/s and 10 degree Celsius. The flow over the whole length of the plate is made turbulent by turbulizing grid placed upstream of the plate. Find the thickness of the hydrodynamic boundary layer at trailing edge of the plate

Air at 20 degree Celsius flows over a flat surface maintained at 80 degree Celsius. Estimate the value of local heat transfer coefficient if the local heat flow at a point was measured as 1250 W/m2. Take thermal conductivity of air as 0.028 W/m K

For flows over a flat plate, at length scales near to the length of the flat plate, which of these is correct?

Air at 25 degree Celsius approaches a 0.9 m long and 0.6 m wide flat plate with a velocity 4.5 m/s. Let the plate is heated to a surface temperature of 135 degree Celsius. Find local heat transfer coefficient from the leading edge at a distance of 0.5 m
