Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.141P
Cranberries are harvested by flooding the bogs in which they are grown and raking them into troughs for transport. At the processing plant, the surface moisture on the berries is removed as they roll over a fine screen through which warm air is blown. The berries have an average diameter of 15 mm, and the thickness of the water layer is 0.2 mm. 
If the velocity and temperature of the heated air are 2m/s and 30°C, respectively, estimate the time required to dry the berries. Assume that the water film on the berries is also at 30°C.

Question No. 3: During a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5°C and the surface temperature of the wall is12°C, determine the rate of heat loss from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled
Consider a 50-cm-diameter and 95-cm-long hot water tank. The tank is placed on the roof of a house. The water inside the tank is heated to 80°C by a flat-plate solar collector during the day. The tank is then exposed to windy air at 18°C with an average velocity of 40 km/h during the night. Estimate the temperature of the tank after a 45-min period. Assume the tank surface to be at the same temperature as the water inside, and the heat transfer coefficient on the top and bottom surfaces to be the same as that on the side surface. Evaluate the air properties at 50°C.
Airstream at 1 atm flows, with a velocity of 15 m/s, in parallel over a 3-m-long flat plate where there is an unheated starting length of 1 m. The airstream has a temperature of 20°C and the heated section of the flat plate is maintained at a constant temperature of 80°C. Determine (a) the local convection heat transfer coefficient at the trailing edge and (b) the average convection heat transfer coefficient for the heated section.
