Estimate the heat loss and evaporation rate


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: Consider dry, atmospheric air in parallel flow over a 0.5-m-long plate whose surface is wetted. The air velocity is 35 m/s, and the air and water are each at a temperature of 300 K.

(a) Estimate the heat loss and evaporation rate per unit width of the plate, q' and nA, respectively.

(b) Assuming the air temperature remains at 300 K. generate plots of q' and n for a range of water temperatures from 300 to 350 K, with air velocities of 10, 20, and 35 m/s.

(c) For the air velocities and air temperature of part (b), determine the water temperatures for which the heat loss will be zero.
