- This is a practice question, not graded assignment. Need detailed calcultions with explanation. An incompressible fluid flows through a rectangular cross section duct, with width much larger than height of the cross section. The duct surface is heated at a uniform rate along its length. If the centreline of the flow is along the centre of the duct where y = 0, the distance from the centreline to the surface of the duct is b = 25 mm, and the thermal conductivity of the fluid is 0.6 W/mK, what is the local heat transfer coefficient in the developed region of the flow?

Flow enters on the left at A, a splitter blade D separates the flow into an open upper channel with wall B and a lower channel with wall G and heat-exchanger tubes F. The flow exits at C and E.Your simulation is supposed to enable the designer to position the splitter blade D vertically such that the target flowrate through the lower channel is achieved for a given flow-rate entering at A. a) Choose boundary conditions (b.c.) for the boundaries A-G from the types of b.c. typically implemented with an incompressible CFD solver.
