Air is flowing at a speed of 5 m/sec between two parallel flat plates. The air temperature is 20o C and its pressure is 1 atm. The plates are kept at a constant temperature of 90o C and the distance between them is 60 cm. The plates width is 1 m and their length is 1.5 m. What is the electrical power required to keep the plates at constant temperature?
