The average Reynolds number for air passing in turbulent flow over a 2-m-long flat plate is 2.4 x 106. Under these conditions, the average Nusselt number was found to be equal to 4150. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient for an oil having thermal properties similar to those in Appendix 2, Table 18 at 30°C at the same Reynolds number and flowing over the same plate.
GIVEN
Turbulent flow of air over a flat plate
Average Reynolds number (ReL) = 2.4 x 106
Plate length (L) = 2 m
Average Nusselt number (Nu) = 4150
FIND
