The free convection heat transfer coefficient on a thin hot vertical plate suspended in still air can

Question:

The free convection heat transfer coefficient on a thin hot vertical plate suspended in still air can be determined from observations of the change in plate temperature with time as it cools. Assuming the plate is isothermal and radiation exchange with its surroundings is negligible, evaluate the convection coefficient at the instant of time when the plate temperature is \(245^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the change in plate temperature with time \((d T / d t)\) is \(-0.028 \mathrm{~K} / \mathrm{s}\). The ambient air temperature is \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the plate measures \(0.4 \times 0.4 \mathrm{~m}\) with a mass of \(4.25 \mathrm{~kg}\) and a specific heat of \(2770 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\).
