Popis: While there are studies of mixed convection heat transfer from a smooth plate, studies of this phenomenon from an external rough plate are absent. The derivation by Jaffer (2023) of the heat transfer formula for natural convection from an external plate implies a simple relation between heat transfer and fluid velocity. This relation leads to formulas for mixed convection from horizontal and vertical rough plates; these formulas are then combined to predict the mixed convection heat transfer at any plate inclination. Heat transfer measurements of a 30.5 cm square rough plate with forced air velocities between 0.1 m/s and 2.5 m/s were made in each orthogonal combination of plate and airflow direction, and of a tilted downward-facing plate. Each data-set matches the present theory with root-mean-squared relative error between 1.4% and 4%.
