HW1- The top surface of a metal plate the air and the temperature gradient in
( k plate  237 W / m  K ) is being cooled the plate at the top surface of the plate.
by air ( k air  0.243W / m  K ) while the
bottom surface is exposed to a hot steam
at 100C with a convection heat transfer
coefficient of 30 W/m2K. If the bottom
surface temperature of the plate is 80C,
determine the temperature gradient in

HW2- Consider a flow over a surface with the velocity and temperature profiles given as
 
u y   C1 y  y 2  y 3 and T  y   C 2  e 2C2 y , where the coefficients C1 and C2 are
constants. Determine the expressions for the friction coefficient (Cf) and the convection
heat transfer coefficient (h).

HW3- Water at 20C is flowing with

velocity of 0.5 m/s between two parallel
flat plates placed 1 cm apart. Determine
the distances from the entrance at which
the velocity and thermal boundary layers
meet.

HW4- Air (1 atm, 5C) with free stream velocity of 2 m/s flowing in parallel to a stationary
thin 1 m × 1 m flat plate over the top and bottom surfaces. The flat plate has a uniform
surface temperature of 35 C. If the friction force asserted on the flat plate is 0.1 N,
determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate.
