Assignment

1) Consider steady, parallel flow of atmospheric air over a flat plate. The air has a temperature
and free stream velocity of 300 K and 25 m/s.
(a) Evaluate the boundary layer thickness at distances of x = 1, 10, and 100 mm from the
leading edge. If a second plate were installed parallel to and at a distance of 3 mm from
the first plate, what is the distance from the leading edge at which boundary layer merger
would occur?
(b) Evaluate the surface shear stress and the y-velocity component at the outer edge of the
boundary layer for the single plate at x = 1, 10, and 100 mm.
2) A flat plate of width 1 m is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts = 150°C by
using independently controlled, heat-generating rectangular modules of thickness a = 10 mm
and length b = 50 mm. Each module is insulated from its neighbors, as well as on its back
side. Atmospheric air at 25°C flows over the plate at a velocity of 30 m/s. The thermophysical
properties of the module are k = 5.2 W/m.K, cp = 320 J/kg.K, and ρ= 2300 kg/m3.

(a) Find the required power generation, (W/m3), in a module positioned at a distance 700 mm
from the leading edge.
(b) Find the maximum temperature Tmax in the heat generating module.
3) Consider atmospheric air at 25°C and a velocity of 25 m/s flowing over both surfaces of a 1m
long flat plate that is maintained at 125°C. Determine the rate of heat transfer per unit width
from the plate for values of the critical Reynolds number corresponding to 105, 5×105, and
106.
4) Consider a flat plate subject to parallel flow (top and bottom) characterized by u∞ = 5 m/s, T∞
= 20°C.
(a) Determine the average convective heat transfer coefficient, convective heat transfer rate,
and drag force associated with a L = 2 m long, w = 2 m wide flat plate for air flow and
surface temperatures of Ts =50°C and 80°C.
(b) Determine the average convective heat transfer coefficient, convective heat transfer rate,
and drag force associated with a L = 0.1 m long, w = 0.1 m wide flat plate for water flow and
surface temperatures of Ts = 50°C and 80°C.
5) Air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 50°C is in parallel flow over the top surface of
a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 100°C. The plate has a length of 0.20 m
(in the flow direction) and a width of 0.10 m. The Reynolds number based on the plate length
is 40,000. What is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? If the free stream velocity
of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm, what is the rate of heat transfer?
6) A steel strip emerges from the hot roll section of a steel mill at a speed of 20 m/s and a
temperature of 1200 K. Its length and thickness are L = 100 m and δ = 0.003 m, respectively,
and its density and specific heat are 7900 kg/m3 and 640 J/kg.K, respectively.

Accounting for heat transfer from the top and bottom surfaces and neglecting radiation and
strip conduction effects, determine the time rate of change of the strip temperature at a
distance of 1 m from the leading edge and at the trailing edge. Determine the distance from
the leading edge at which the minimum cooling rate is achieved.
7) The cover plate of a flat-plate solar collector is at 15°C, while ambient air at 10°C is in
parallel flow over the plate, with u∞ = 2 m/s.

(a) What is the rate of convective heat loss from the plate?
(b) If the plate is installed 2 m from the leading edge of a roof and flush with the roof surface,
what is the rate of convective heat loss?
8) A square (10 mm × 10 mm) silicon chip is insulated on one side and cooled on the opposite
side by atmospheric air in parallel flow at u∞ = 20 m/s and T∞= 24°C. When in use, electrical
power dissipation within the chip maintains a uniform heat flux at the cooled surface. If the
chip temperature may not exceed 80°C at any point on its surface, what is the maximum
allowable power? What is the maximum allowable power if the chip is flush mounted in a
substrate that provides for an unheated starting length of 20 mm?
9) Air flows over a flat plate, which has uniform surface temperature of 50oC, the temperature
of the air ahead of the plate being 30oC. The air velocity is such that the Reynolds number
based on the length of the plate is 5×106, the length of the plate being 30 cm. Using Reynolds
analogy, determine the variation of the local heat transfer rate from the wall, qw with x/L
assuming that i) the boundary layer flow remains laminar, ii) the boundary layer flow is
turbulent from the leading edge of the plate, and iii) boundary layer transition occurs at Re =
106. x is the distance from the leading edge of the plate and L is the length of the plate.
10) Consider the laminar boundary layer flow of a liquid metal with a velocity U∞ and
temperature T∞ over a flat plate maintained at a uniform temperature Tw. Taking the
temperature profile in the form:

T ( x, y )  Tw y 
 ( x, y )   sin  
T  Tw  2 T 
Develop an expression for the local heat transfer coefficient hx.
