The sensible heat-transfer coefficient for a dry surface has been determined to be 50 W/(m2-C) at a certain Reynolds number. Estimate the total heat transfer to the surface per unit area at a location where the wall temperature is 10 C and the state of the moist air flowing over the surface is given by 24 C dry bulb and 18 C wet bulb. Assume that the Reynolds number does not change and the Lewis number is 0.82. Assume that the condensate present on the surface will increase the transfer coefficients by about 15 percent.

The sensible heat-transfer coefficient for a dry surface has been determined to be 50 W/(m2-C) at a certain Reynolds number. Estimate the total heat transfer to the surface per unit area at a location where the wall temperature is 10 C and the state of the moist air flowing over the surface is given by 24 C dry bulb and 18 C wet bulb. Assume that the Reynolds number does not change and the Lewis number is 0.82. Assume that the condensate present on the surface will increase the transfer coefficients by about 15 percent.
