Convection Heat TransferConvection Heat Transfer

It quantifies the energy transfer between a fluid at one temperature flowing over a solid object at a different temperature.

AT- q” is the heat flux (J/s m2 = W/m2)T is the difference between fluid temperature (in the freestream) and the solid wall temperature-A is the surface area of the solid. -q is the total heat transfer from a surface (Watts).

Two common questions of any Two common questions of any convective heat transfer problemconvective heat transfer problem

Given the distribution of surface temperature as a function of position along a surface, what is the distribution of local heat flux?

Turbulent flow - experimental

Dimensionless heat transfer Dimensionless heat transfer coefficient (Stanton #)coefficient (Stanton #)

St decreases with the increase of Re.St increases when the flow becomes turbulent flow.
