Question

Oil at T1 °C flows with a velocity of 1.5 m/s over a 2 m long x 1m wide flat plate. The temperature of the plate is 10 °C. (a) Determine whether the flow of the oil over the plate is laminar or turbulent. (b) Determine the average heat transfer coefficient. (c) Determine the overall rate of heat transfer, Q between the plate and the oil.
