QUESTION 3: FORCED CONVECTION [5 3.1 Describe the difference between natural convection and forced convection and make use of a sketch to explain your answer. 3.2 Five paraliel plates form a solar collector cover a roof completely, as shown in the figure. The plates are maintained at 20∘C, while ambient air at 10∘C flows over the roof with V=2 m/s. 3.2.1 Determine the critical length of flow over the plates and state if the flow over plate 1 is laminar or turbulent. 3.2.2 Calculate the rate of convective heat loss from the first plate.
