Question

In presence of an external flow when will the convective heat transfer be dominated by free convection and not by the forced convection due to the external flow?

Gr ≫ Re².

 

 

 

 

Gr ≪ Re.

 

Gr ≫ Re.

 

Gr ≪ Re

For ideal gases, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, and Prandtl number are independent of pressure. How will the ratio of thicknesses of velocity boundary layer and thermal boundary layer change if pressure is increased from 1 atm to 5 atm for the flow of an ideal gas over a flat plate?

 

It will decrease by a factor of 5.

 

 

 

It will remain the same.

 

It will increase by a factor of 5.

 

We need to know the actual fluid properties to tell.
