Ch: 7 - For External Flow

Nussel’s Number:

Temperature through the boundary Layer

NU For a Flat Plate:

For a laminar flow, isothermal plate (cst temp)

Nu for small Pr number:

Pe: Pectal Number:

Nu for all PR, and Pe>100 laminar and Isothermal plate:

For Turbulent, Isothermal Plate:

For completely turbulent boundary layer, no laminar and transition:

Constant Heat Flux condition:

If heat flux is known, then we get q and T using:

For cylinder: (circular)
Reynold’s Number:

Drag Coefficient: Note: all properties at Tfilm

’
For cylinders (non-circular)

Get c and m from table 7.3
