A heat exchanger filled with ethanol (See Figure 2.1) is designed to promote boiling at a constant and uniform temperature T=60?C over its entire volume. The upper surface of the heat exchanger is cooled by an air flow with a free stream velocity v??=10m/s at a temperature T??=20?C. We are interested in the convective cooling due to the air flow over a section of the heat exchanger's upper surface located between the lines x=x1?=0.8m and x=x2?=1.5m. The heat exchanger is 2m deep (in y direction). You can neglect heat losses from all vertical sides. The critical Reynolds number is Rec?=6×105.
