A hot plate 1 m × 1.5 m is maintained at 300°C. Air at 25°C blows over the plate. If the convective heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2°C, calculate the rate of heat transfer. |

Answer» Area of the plate exposed to heat transfer, A = 1 × 1.5 = 1.5 m2 Plate surface temperature, ts = 300°C Temperature of air (fluid), tf = 20°C Convective heat-transfer coeffficient, h = 20 W/m2°C Rate of heat transfer, Q : From Netwon’s law of cooling, Q = hA (ts – tf ) = 20 × 1.5(300 – 20) = 8400 W or 8.4 kW. |
