A 0.2 m x 0.2 m vertical plate has a surface temperature that is maintained at 40°C. Air at 20°C is flowing in parallel over the plate with a velocity of 0.4 m/s. a) Do we need to consider both the forced convection and free convection? b) Calculate the increase in heat transfer rate if the forced flow assists the free convection rather than opposes it.
