The fuel plates in a nuclear reactor are 4 ft long and stacked with a 1/2-in. gap between them. The heat flux along the plate surfaces varies sinusoidally according to the equation

where
,
 is the distance from the leading edge of the plates, and L is the total plate length. If air at 120F; 80 psi, flowing at a mass velocity of
, is used to cool the plates, prepare plots showing

a. the heat flux vs.
;

b. the mean air temperature vs.
