Question

A square aluminum plate 5 mm thick and 150 mm on a side is heated while vertically suspended in quiescent air at 75°C. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient for the plate when its temperature is 15°C by two methods: using results from the similarity solution to the boundary layer equations, and using results from an empirical correlation.

The answer should be close to 5.78 and 5.92 W/m^2K
