Chapter 9, Problem 10RQ
- 10. The Peclet number is used in heat transfer in general and forced convection calculations in particular. It is a function of the two other dimensionless groups, the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number. Determine the functional form of these dimensionless groups, using Rayleighʼs method. The problem depends on the following variables:
| ρ = Liquid density | [=] kg/m3 |
| Cp = Specific heat of liquid | [=] J/(g oC) |
| µ = Liquid viscosity | [=] kg/(m s) |
| a = Thermal diffusivity | [=] m2/s |
| k = Thermal conductivity of the plate | [=] W/(m oC) |
| x = Distance from edge of the plate | [=] m |
| V = Liquid velocity | [=] m/s |

a) You expect the important dimensionless parameters to be related by a function of
the form
Nu = CRe Pr
where C, m, and n are constants. The film temperature in both the experiments is
approximately the same. Use the given experimental results to determine the
constant m
b) Calculate h for L = 0.75 m and V = 30 m/s.
