KNOWN: Boundary layer temperature distribution.
FIND: Surface heat flux.
SCHEMATIC:

PROPERTIES: Table A-4, Air (Ts = 300K): k = 0.0263 W/m⋅K.


ANALYSIS: Applying Fourier’s law at y = 0, the heat flux is

COMMENTS: (1) Negative flux implies convection heat transfer to the surface.
(2) Note use of k at Ts to evaluate q′′s from Fourier’s law.

0.2m/20.22 × 10 m /s = 4.0 × 10 ), the pressure gradient is zero and the Chilton-Colburn
analogy is applicable to average, as well as local, surface conditions. Note that the only
contribution to the drag force is made by the surface shear stress.
