boundary layer at the trailing edge of the plate. Also calculate the mean value of the heat transfer
coefficient from the surface of the plate, . Fully Treble fers)
Solution
The physical properties of air at 10°C are
k= 0.025 WimK, v=14.15x10%m*s, Pr=0.72
Rea tet C0 = 565x105 5x08
v 14.15 x10
Due to turbulizing grid, the flow on the plate becomes turbulent right from its leading edge and
le? = = ——
remains So over the entire plate, The turbulent boundary layer at the trailing edgex = Z can be calculated
from Eqn. (7.54)
