QUESTION 6 [20 MARKS]

A manufacturing section of a plastic plant deliver a continuous 1.2-m wide and 0.1-cm
thick sheet of a plastic at a velocity of 9 rn/mm, The temperature of the plastic sheet is
95C when it is the manufacturing section.
During the delivery, a 0.6 m-long section of the plastic sheet is exposed to a surrounding
air at 25C. The air flows at 3 m/s on both sides of the sheet surfaces in the crosswise
direction to the plastic motion.
You are required to model a heat transfer system for evaluating the rate of heat transfer
from the plastic sheet to the flowing air and the temperature of the plastic sheet at the end
of 0.6-rn long exposure section cooling section assuming that the emissivity of the plastic
is 0.9. Take the dynamic viscosity of air at 300C is 2.76x10 5 Pa.s
