A light breeze of 10mi/hr blows across a metal building. The buildings wall is 3.7m tall and 6.1m wide. A net energy flux of 347w/m^2 from the sun is absorbed by the wall and then dissipated to the air through convection. Assuming the air is 27c and 1 atm and blows across the wall as a flat plate, estimate the average temp the wall will atain at equlibrium.
I took the flux and divided it by the area to get the heat transfer. I was thinking that i need to work backwards through the Nussalt number to find h, then I can solve from the convection eqn but I have a sheet with a bunch of Nussalt equations that all depend on the Renolds number for this situation, but that depends on the temp of the wall? Where do I begin?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
