Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the Grashof number for a vertical plate with a surface temperature of 60Β°C, ambient temperature of 20Β°C, a characteristic length of 0.5 m, and a kinematic viscosity of 1.0 x 10^-6 mΒ²/s.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Don’t forget to find Ξ² for the specific fluid.

Question 2
