3. A blacktop road surface 18.3 m. wide receives solar radiation at the rate of 284 W/m² at noon and 189
W/m² is lost by forced convection (the remaining is lost by radiation, and you do not need to account for it).
A steady wind at 300 K blows across the road.
A. Determine the wind velocity that will cause the road surface to be at 308K. Assume that the flow is
laminar.
B. Once you calculate the wind velocity, comment if this was a reasonable assumption.
C. If your answer to part B is "no" - recalculate the velocity assuming turbulent flow

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given That:

Width of blacktop road surface (w) = 18.3mSolar radiation received at noon (qin)=284 W/m²Forced convection heat loss(qconv)=189 W/m²Air temperature (Tair)=300 KSurface temperature required (Tsurface)=308 KThermal conductivity of blacktop (k)=0.024 W/m·K
