TUTORIAL 05 – Principles of Convection

1. Air at 250 K and 1 atm. blows a 30 cm square plate at 10 m/s. The plate maintains a constant
heat flux of 700 W/m2. Determine the temperature at x locations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 cm.

2. Ethylene glycol at 20 °C flows across an isothermal plate maintained at 0 °C. The plate is 20
cm square and the Reynolds number at the end the plate is 100,000. Calculate the heat
gained by plate.

3. A wind tunnel is to be constructed to produce flow condition of Mach 2.8 at T  = -40 °C and p
= 0.05 atm. What is the stagnation temperature for these conditions? What would be the
adiabatic wall temperature for the laminar and turbulent portions of a boundary layer on a flat
plate? If a flat plate were installed in the tunnel such that Re L = 107, what would the heat
transfer be for a constant wail temperature of 0 °C.

4. Air flows across a 20 cm square plate with a velocity of 5 m/s. Free stream conditions are
10 °C and 0.2 atm. A heater in the plate surface furnishes a constant heat flux condition at the
wall so that the average wall temperature is 100 °C. Calculate the surface heat flux and the
value of h at an x position of 10 cm.

5. Water flows in a 2.5 cm diameter pipe so that the Reynolds number based on diameter is
1500 (laminar flow assumed). The average bulk temperature is 35 °C. Calculate the maximum
water velocity in the tube. ( Recall that u m = 0.5 u ). What would the heat transfer coefficient
be for such a system if the tube wall was subjected to a constant heat flux and the velocity
and temperature profiles were completely developed? Evaluate properties at bulk temperature.

6. The bottom of a corn chip fryer is 3 m long by 0.9 m wide and is maintained at a
temperature of 215 °C. Cooking oil flows across the surface at a velocity of 0.3 m/s and has a
free stream temperature of 204 °C. Calculate the heat transfer to the oil and estimate the
maximum boundary layer thickness. Properties of the oil may be taken as  = 2 x 10-6 m2/s , k
= 0.12 W/m·K and Pr =40.

7. Determine the boundary layer thickness at Re = 5 x 10 5 for the following fluids flowing over
a flat plate at 20 m/s, (a) air at 1 atm. and 10 °C, (b) saturated liquid water at 10 °C, (c)
hydrogen at 1 atm. and 10 °C, (d) saturated liquid ammonia at 10 °C and (e) saturated
liquid Freon 12 at 10 °C.

8. Engine oil at 20 °C is forced across a 20 cm square plate at 10 m/s. The plate surface is
maintained at 40 °C. Calculate the heat lost by the plate and the drag force for one side of one
side of an unheated plate.

with zero pressure gradient.

10. Air at 5 °C and 70 kPa flows over a flat plate at 6 m/s. A heater strip 2.5 cm long is placed on
the plate at a distance of 15 cm from the leading edge. Calculate the heat loss from the strip
per unit depth of plate for a heater surface temperature of 65 °C.
