Direction: Heat is being transferred by convection from water at 48°C to a glass plate whose surface temp. is exposed to the water is at 40°C. The thermal conductivity of water is 0.6 W/mK and the thermal conductivity of glass is 1.2 W/mK. The spatial gradient of temperature in the water at the water-glass interface is dT/dy = 1 × 104 K/m.

  1. The heat transfer coefficient h in w/m2K is
    1. 0.0
    2. 4.8
    3. 6
    4. 750
Correct Option: D

For convection Heat flux, q = h(Tf – Ti)

q = kw
dT
dyw

= 0.6 × 1 × 104 = 6000 W/m
∴ h =
q
=
6000
= 750 W /m2K
(Tf – Ti)8
