Identify how the average friction and heat transfer coefficients are determined in flow over a flat plate.
A) They are determined by differentiating the local friction and heat transfer coefficients at the mid-length of the plate, and then multiplying them by the length of the plate.
B) They are determined by by integrating the local Reynolds number and Nusselt numbers over the entire plate.
C) They are determined by integrating the local friction and heat transfer coefficients over the entire plate, and then dividing them by the length of the plate.
D) They are determined by by differentiating the local Reynolds number and Nusselt numbers at the mid-length of the plate.

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Let's have

Q = heat transfer surface

∆T = average temperature

F = area of the heat surface

Then the heat transfer coefficient = Q/∆T*F

In a flow over flat plate, the average friction and the heat transfer coefficient are determined by the integration of local friction and also great transfer coefficients over the plate entirely and then dividing by the plates length.

Therefore answer option C is the answer to this question.
