Hot methane exhaust gas at 1 atm is being cooled by flat plates. The gas at 150°C flows parallel over the upper and lower surfaces of a 2.5 m long flat plate at a velocity of 2.5 m/s. if the flat plate surface temperature is maintained at 50°C, determine the local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge.
