A metallic airfoil of elliptical cross section has a mass of 50 kg, surface area of 12 m2, and a specific heat of 0.50 kJ/kg-K. The airfoil is subjected to air flow at 1 atm, 25°C, and 5 m/s along its 3-m-long side. The average temperature of the airfoil is observed to drop from 160°C to 150°C within 2 min of cooling. Assuming the surface temperature of the airfoil to be equal to its average temperature and using momentum-heat transfer analogy, determine the average friction coefficient of the airfoil surface.

Question
A metallic airfoil of elliptical cross section has a mass
of 50 kg, surface area of 12 m2, and a specific heat of
0.50 kJ/kg-K. The airfoil is subjected to air flow at 1
atm, 25°C, and 5 m/s along its 3-m-long side. The
average temperature of the airfoil is observed to drop
from 160°C to 150°C within 2 min of cooling.
Assuming the surface temperature of the airfoil to be
equal to its average temperature and using
momentum-heat transfer analogy, determine the
average friction coefficient of the airfoil surface.
