The upper surface of a 50-cm-thick solid plate (k=237 W/mK) is being cooled by water with temperature of 20 C. The upper and lower surfaces of the solid plate maintained at constant temperatures of 60 C and 120 C, respectively. Determine the water convection heat transfer coefficient and the water temperature gradient at the upper plate surface.
