You’ve experienced convection cooling if you’ve ever extended your hand out the window of a moving vehicle or into a flowing water stream. With the surface of your hand at a temperature of 30degC, determine the convection heat flux for (a) a vehicle speed of 47 km/h in air at 5degC with a convection coefficient of 40 W/m^2-K and (b) a velocity of 0.4 m/s in a water stream at10degC with a convection coefficient of 900 W/m^2-K. Which condition would feel colder?
