forced-convection

Consider incompressible laminar flow over a flat plate with freestream velocity of $u_{\infty}$. The Nusselt number corresponding to this flow velocity is $Nu_1$. If the freestream...

For flow through a pipe of radius $$R,$$ the velocity and temperature distribution are as follows: $$U\left( {r,x} \right) = {C_1}$$ and $$T\left( {r,x} \right) = {C_2}\left[ {1 -...

Water flows through a tube of diameter $$25mm$$ at an average velocity of $$1.0m/s.$$ The properties of water are $$\rho = 1000\,\,kg/{m^3},$$ $$\mu = 7.25 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,\,N....

An un-insulated air conditioning duct of rectangular cross section $$1\,\,m \times 0.5\,m,$$ carrying air at $${20^ \circ }C$$ with a velocity of $$10 m/s,$$ is exposed to an ambie...

Hot water flows with a velocity of $$0.1$$ $$m/s$$ in a $$100mm$$ long, $$0.1m$$ diameter pipe. Heat lost from the pipe outer wall is uniform and equal to $$420$$ $$W/{m^2}$$. If t...

Heat transfer coefficients for free convection in gasses, forced convection in gases and vapors, and for boiling water lie, respectively, in the range of

When the fluid velocity is doubled the thermal time constant of a thermometer used for measuring the fluid temperature reduces by a factor of $$2$$

For the fluid flowing over a flat plate with Prandtle number greater than unity, the thermal boundary layer for laminar forced convection
