Air at a pressure of 1 ATM, a temperature of 15° C, and a velocity of 10 m/s flows over a 3 m long flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 140° C.
a. What is the local heat transfer coefficient 3m from the leading edge of the plate?
b. Sketch, qualitatively, the manner in which the heat transfer rate (q) varies along the length of the plate (x).
