Chapter 3: Using the Function Tool<br />

The convection heat transfer coefficient from a fluid flowing over a flat plate is applied as a function<br />

boundary condition, using the correlation for laminar heat transfer coefficient. The figure below shows the<br />

flat plate with the applied boundary conditions.<br />

Y<br />

X = 1 Regime 1 X = 5 Regime 2 X = 10<br />

Constant temperature<br />

Convection Boundary<br />

Condition<br />

The bottom of the plate is fixed at a constant temperature. The top of the plate, where the convection<br />

boundary condition is being applied, is split into two regimes:<br />

Regime 1 is defined for X between 1 ≤ X
