The top surface of the plate is maintained at 110 OC. Calculate the bottom temperature of the plate
at steady state.
Air stream at 1 atm flows with a velocity of 2 m/s, in parallel over a 3 m long square flat plate, placed on ground, where there is an unheated starting length of 1 m. The air stream has a temperature of 20 °C and the heated section of the flat plate is maintained at a constant temperature of 80 °C. Determine the local heat transfer coefficient at trailing edge and average convection heat transfer coefficient for the heated section. Also calculate the heat loss by convection. Determine the average friction coefficient and wall shear stress and drag force.
