Consider airflow over a plate surface maintained at a temperature of 220°C. The temperature profile of the airflow is given as T(y) = T∞ − (T∞−Ts)exp((−V/α_fluid)y).

The airflow at 1 atm has a free stream velocity and temperature of 0.08 m/s and 20°C, respectively. Determine the heat flux on the plate surface and the convection heat transfer coefficient of the airflow

A) heat flux on the plate is;q_o = 11737.34 W/m²

B) convection heat transfer coefficient of the airflow is;h = 58.67 W/m².k

Explanation:

The temperature profile of the airflow is given as;

T(y) = T∞ − (T∞−Ts)exp((−V/α_fluid)y)

Let's differentiate with respect to y;

dT/dy = [[(T∞−Ts)V]/α](e^(-vy/α)

Where;

T∞ = 20°C

Ts = 220°C

V = 0.08 m/s

α is thermal diffusivity of air and from the table i attached at a temperature of 220°C, by interpolation it has a value of;

α = 5.33 x 10^(-5) m²/s

Thus, at y =0;

dT/dy = [[(20 − 220)0.08]/(5.33 x 10^(-5))](e^(0))

dT/dy = -300187.62 °C/m

A) Now, heat flux at y = 0 would be given by;

q_o = -k(dT/dy)

Where k is thermal conductivity

from the table attached at 220°C and by interpolation, the thermal conductivity k = 0.0391 W/m.k

Thus,

q_o = -0.0391(-300187.62)

q_o = 11737.34 W/m²

B) the convection heat transfer coefficient of the airflow is gotten from;

q_o = h(Ts - T∞).

Where h is the convection heat transfer coefficient of the airflow

Thus making h the formula, we have;

h = q_o/(Ts - T∞)

h = 11737.34/(220 - 20)

h = 58.67 W/m².k

oil flow is a highly convective flow compared to water flow at normal temperature and pressure.

unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members, power screws are used to transmit power. common applications of power screws are: screw jacks: to lift weight. lead screw of lathe: for axial movement of tool and its precise positioning.
