IEC 1597:1995-05 Heat Loss by

Convection
Reynolds No.,
Re = 1.644x109 (Vd)[(t+273) + ]-1.78
V = wind speed, say 0.3 m/s
d = conductor diameter, m
= temperature rise, (70-38)C
Nu = 0.65Re0.2 + 0.23Re0.61
Thermal conductivity of thin-film air, = 0.02585 W/m.K
Hc = 1000 Nu W/km
_______________________________________________________
For d = 28.6 mm, Re = 471.51, Nu = 12.06, then Hc = 31.51 W/m
