In a particular application involving airflow over a heated surface, the boundary layer temperature distribution may be approximated as

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a particular application involving airflow over a heated surface, the boundary layer temperature distribution, T(y), may be approximated as:

[ T(y) - Ts / T∞ - Ts ] = 1 - e^( -Pr (U∞y / v) )

where y is the distance normal to the surface and the Prandtl number, Pr = Cpu/k = 0.7, is a dimensionless fluid property. a.) If T∞ = 380 K, Ts = 320 K, and U∞/v = 3600 m-1, what is the surface heat flux? Is this into or out of the wall? (~-5000 W/m2 , ?). b.) Plot the temperature distribution for y = 0 to y = 0.002 m. Set the axes ranges from 380 to 320 for temperature and from 0 to 0.002 m for y. Be sure to evaluate properties at the film temperature.
