Estimate the heat loss per unit area from a blacktop highway at 110ºC if the air is still and 28ºC.
What will be an ideal response?
The heat loss can be predicted from Newton’s law of cooling which requires knowing the convective heat transfer coefficient. The Rayleigh number will help determine h. Using air properties from Appendix Table B-4, a characteristic length of 0.67 m, a film temperature of 69ºC [(110 + 28)/2] = 342 K, and a Prandtl number of 0.707,
