    The document discusses free convective heat transfer, where natural convection occurs when a hot object in a stationary fluid is at a different temperature than the surrounding fluid, causing density differences that drive fluid motion and heat transfer without an external source of flow. Key concepts explained include the Grashof number, Rayleigh number, free convection flow patterns, and equations for calculating the heat transfer coefficient and rate of heat transfer via free convection. Worked examples are provided to demonstrate applying the equations to problems involving vertical plates, wires, and cylinders.

    Free Convective Heat Transfer

    ChE 301
    In previous lecture, you have learned forced convection, where an
    Heat Transfer active fluid flow makes the convection happen

    Imagine a room, where surrounding air is maintained to be totally


    Instructor: quiescent (still). There is a hot object in the room, which has a
    temperature higher than the room.
    Dr. Md. Easir Arafat Khan
    Associate Professor Will there be heat transfer?
    Department of Chemical Engineering, BUET, Since the fluid is stationary, Will this heat transfer be purely by
    Dhaka-1000 conduction?
