Consider a design for a nuclear reactor using natural-convection heating of liquid bismuth as shown. The reactor is to be constructed of parallel vertical plates 1.8 m tall and 1.2 m wide, in which heat is generated uniformly. Estimate the maximum possible heat dissipation rate from each plate if the average surface temperature of the plate is not to exceed 870°C and the lowest allowable bismuth temperature is 315°C.

GIVEN
• Vertical plates with uniform heat generation in bismuth
• Plate height (L) = 1.8 m
• Plate width (w) = 1.2 m
• Maximum average surface temperature (Ts) = 870°C
• Minimum bismuth temperature (T?) = 315°C
FIND
• Maximum possible heat dissipation rate (q) from each plate
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Free convection only
• Edge effects are negligible
