Air at a temperature of 30oC flows over a flat plate of length 2m, which is maintained at 150oC. The air flows with a velocity of 12m/s . Find the local heat transfer coefficient at a distance of 0.5m from the leading edge, and at the trailing edge. What is the type of flow at these two sections? At what length , does the flow pattern change?

         The properties of air at the mean temperature of 90o C are

         Cp = 1.01kJ/kgoC , r= 0.962kg/m3

         m = 2.131ยด10-5kg/m-s , k = 0.031W/mK

         Use the equations :

         Nu = 0.332 Re0.5 Pr0.33  for laminar flow,

         Nu = 0.0296 Re0.8 Pr0.33 for turbulent flow.
