A thin plate with a length of 0.5m is cooled by vertical suspension in a very large box filled with quiescent carbon monoxide at a temperature of 44°C. If the plate surface temperature is 80°C, please answer the following:
1. What is the thickness of the free convection boundary layer at the upper edge of the plate?
2. What is the velocity in the x-direction at half the plate length?
3. Calculate the average Nusselt number for the plate. Justify your choice of correlation
A 0.2 m x 0.2 m vertical plate has a surface temperature that is maintained at 40°C. Air at 20°C is flowing in parallel over the plate with a velocity of 0.4 m/s.
a) Do we need to consider both the forced convection and free convection?
b) Calculate the increase in heat transfer rate if the forced flow assists the free convection rather than opposes it.
