A rock bed used for thermal storage has washed rocks of ½ inch nominal diameter. The bed is 5 feet high, 5 feet wide and 8 feet long. One thousand cubic feet per minute (cfm) of air passes vertically through the rock bed. Estimate the convective heat transfer coefficient for the air/rock bed under this flow condition.
