Chapter Four: Forced Convection

This document discusses forced convection heat transfer, including: 1) Calculating boundary layer thickness and mass flow rate into the boundary layer for air flowing over a flat plate. 2) Calculating temperature differences along and at the trailing edge of a heated glass plate in an airstream. 3) Estimating the Nusselt number for air flowing across a heated flat plate where the heat transfer is given.

Forced Convection ‫قسم الهندسه الميكانيكيه‬

1 - Air at 27◦C and 1 atm flows over a flat plate at a speed of 2 m/s.
Calculate the boundary-layer thickness at distances of 20 cm and 40 cm
from the leading edge of the plate. Calculate the mass flow that enters the
boundary layer between x=20 cm and x=40 cm. The viscosity of air at 27◦C
is 1.85×10−5 kg/m· s. Assume unit depth in the z direction.

2‐ A 1.0-kW heater is constructed of a glass plate with an electrically


conducting film that produces a constant heat flux. The plate is 60 cm by 60
cm and placed in an airstream at 27◦C, 1 atm with u∞ =5 m/s. Calculate the
average temperature difference along the plate and the temperature
difference at the trailing edge.
Answers: 240◦C, 365.4◦C

3- Air at 7 kPa and 35◦C flows across a 30-cm-square flat plate at 7.5 m/s.
The plate is maintained at 65◦C. Estimate Nusselt number if the heat transfer
from the plate 13.6w.

Answers: Nu = 54.038

4- Air at 90◦C and 1 atm flows over a flat plate at a velocity of 30 m/s. How
thick is the boundary layer at a distance of 2.5 cm from the leading edge of
the plate?
Answers:

5- Air at standard conditions of 1 atm and 27◦C flows over a flat plate at 20
m/s. The plate is 60 cm square and is maintained at 97◦C. Calculate Nusselt

Answers: Nu = 656.25

6- Air at a pressure of 200 kPa and free-stream temperature of 27◦C flows


over a square flat plate at a velocity of 30 m/s. The Reynolds number is 10 6
at the edge of the plate.
Calculate the heat transfer for an isothermal plate maintained at 57◦C.

Answers: q = 676W
