QUESTION 4
Consider steady heat transfer in an L-shaped body with the cross-section as shown in Figure
Q2. The body thickness is 18 mm and heat transfer in the z-direction is negligible. The
thermal conductivity is k = 12 W/m.oC, and heat is uniformly generated in the body at a rate
g 7000 W / m 3
of
. The left, base, and bottom-right surface temperatures are known, and a
q R 3800 W / m 2
uniform heat flux of
x y 12mm.

QUESTION 4
Oil at 25oC is forced over a flat plate 40 m long and 1 m wide at a free stream velocity of 5
m/s. The plate surface is held at 45oC.
a)
b)
c)
determine the velocity and thermal boundary layer thicknesses at the middle of the
plate,
calculate the total heat flux from the surface, and
sketch a plot of the local convective heat transfer coefficient profile over the laminar
region only. Plot for every 5 meters length.
