How with air vs how with water?

Fully turbulent flow inside a pipe


-colburn equation
-Dittus Boelter equation
-Nussel= 0.034Re^0.8Pr^6

infinite
Pr= ( surface )
- Only works over a certain range (laminar-> turbulent)
- 1. Viscosity is usually a f(T)
- 2. Low viscosity layer next to surface, has an effect on fluid mechanics
- 3. The accuracy of the equation
- Evaluated at free stream temp. Some equations T_average= (T free
stream + T surface) / 2

Nu= hd/K= 2+..


In absence of convection we will have a finite Nusselt number (the 2 )

Consider:
If I change the fluid mechanis: how does the heat transfer change
Eg. Nu= (Re^0.5+re^2/3)Pr^0.4 -> h goes up by about 50% if I double
velocity

infinite
How important its the correction term ( surface )

For exam:
1. Turbulent flow through pipe
2. Cross flow over cylinder (practical)
3. Flow over a sphere
4.
