A heated flat plate is maintained at a uniform temperature of 50°C. The plate is cooled by air flowing over it with a free-stream temperature of 10°C. The measured temperature distribution of the air at a location 22 cm from the entrance section has the form:
where T(y) is the temperature in °C at a location distant y mm from the surface of the plate. The thermal conductivity of air is 0.025 Wmí1Kí1.
(i) Calculate air temperature at a distance of 2 mm from the surface.
(ii) Calculate the heat flux at the surface of the plate.
(iii) Calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient at the location.
