length is subjected to uniform heat flux.The local convection heat transfer coefficients at x = 1 and 3 m are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Local atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. 3 The critical Reynolds number is
Recr = 5105. 4 The boundary layer over the second portion of the plate with uniform heat flux has not been affected by the
first half of the plate with constant surface temperature.
