The top surface of a flat, rectangular plate that is at a uniform temperature of 100°C. The plate is in stagnant atmospheric air at a temperature of 20°C.
a. For inclination angles with respect to the vertical direction of 20° and 45°, find the distance from the leading edge of the plate where transition from laminar to turbulent flow would take place.
b. Assuming a total length of 1 m, and a width of 0.5 m, calculate the average heat transfer coefficient for the aforementioned two angles, as well as horizontal and vertical configurations.
