Convection
Basic heat transfer equation
Primary issue is in getting convective heat
transfer coefficient,h
h relates to the conduction into the fluid at the
wall

Convection Heat Transfer Correlations
Key is to fully understand the type of problem
and then make sure you apply the appropriate
convective heat transfer coefficient correlation

Convection with Internal Flow
Main difference is the constrained boundary layer
Different entry length for laminar and turbulent flow
Compare external and internal flow:
– External flow:
Reference temperature,T? is constant
– Internal flow:
Reference temperature,Tm will change if heat
transfer is occurring!
Tm increases if heating occurs (Ts > Tm )
Tm decreases if cooling occurs (Ts < Tm )

Rayleigh number,For relative magnitude of
buoyancy and viscous forces
Review the basic equations for different
potential cases,such as vertical plates,vertical
cylinders,horizontal plates (heated and cooled)
For horizontal plates,discuss the equations 9.30-
