When night falls, the temperature of the earth’s surface starts to drop. On a cool night, dew starts to form on the grass as water vapor condenses. Once dew starts to form, the rate of temperature decrease slows. Explain why this change occurs.
1. Air at 1 atm and 20°C is flowing
over the top surface of a 0.5-m
long thin plate. The airstream
velocity is 50 m/s, and the plate is
maintained at a constant surface
temperature of 180°C. Determine
the average convection heat
transfer coefficient.
