Hot methane exhaust gas at 1 atm is being cooled by flat plates. The gas at 150°c flows parallel over the upper and lower surfaces of a 2.5 m long flat plate at a velocity of 2.5 m/s. If the flat plate surface temperature is maintained at 50°C, determine: 4.1) the local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge. 4.2) the average convection heat transfer coefficient over the entire plate. 4.3) the total heat flux transfer to the plate.

Question
Hot methane exhaust gas at 1 atm is being cooled by flat plates. The gas at 150°C
flows parallel over the upper and lower surfaces of a 2.5 m long flat plate at a
velocity of 2.5 m/s. If the flat plate surface temperature is maintained at 50°C,
determine:
4.1) the local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge.
4.2) the average convection heat transfer coefficient over the entire plate.
4.3) the total heat flux transfer to the plate.
