Question

Determine the convection heat transfer coefficient, thermal resistance for convection, and the convection heat transfer rate that are associated with air at atmospheric pressure in cross flow over a cylinder of diameter D = 100 mm and length L = 2 m. The cylinder temperature is Ts = ° 70 C while the air velocity and temperature are V = 3 m/s and T[infinity] = 20°C, respectively. Plot the convection heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer rate from the cylinder over the range 0.05 m ≤ D ≤ 0.5 m.
