Developing a good understanding of external flow
and external forced convection is important in the
mechanical and thermal design of many engineering
systems, such as:
aircraft
automobiles
buildings
turbine blades
electronic components

Skin friction: A moving fluid exerts
tangential shear forces on the surface.
Pressure: A stationary fluid exerts only
normal pressure forces on the surface of a
body immersed in it.
EMEB320-SKL-FST-UM 4
The force a flowing fluid exerts on a body in
the flow direction is called drag.
It is the sum of the components of the skin
friction and pressure in the flow direction.
Drag force notes as FD or D
EMEB320-SKL-FST-UM 5
The force a flowing fluid exerts on a body
perpendicular to the flow direction is called
lift.
It is the sum of the components of the skin
friction and pressure in the direction
perpendicular to the flow direction.
Lift force notes as FL or L

The drag characteristics of a body is
represented by the dimensionless CD:
EMEB320-SKL-FST-UM 9
The local Nux has the functional form:
Nux = f1(x*, Rex, Pr)
The average Nu has the form:
Nu = f2(ReL, Pr)
The experimental data is represented as:
Nu = CReLmPrn
EMEB320-SKL-FST-UM 10
The local drag coefficient, CD,x, varies along the
surface. The average drag coefficient, CD, can be
determined by integration from:

Consider the parallel
flow of a fluid over
a flat plate of length L
in the flow direction:

Re at a distance x from the leading edge of
a flat plate is expressed as Rex:

The local Nusselt number at x is:

The average Nusselt number is:
Laminar flow (ReL < 5105):

EMEB320-SKL-FST-UM 17
In some cases, a flat plate is sufficiently long
for the flow to become turbulent, but not long
enough to disregard the laminar flow region.
In such cases, the average values of Cf and Nu
are expressed as:

Churchill and Ozoe proposed the following
relation which is applicable for all Pr:

When a flat plate is subjected to uniform
heat flux, the local Nux is given by:
Laminar flow (Rex < 5105):
Pr > 0.6
These relations give values that are 36% higher for laminar flow and
4% higher for turbulent flow relative to the isothermal plate case.

When analyzing heat transfer from a tube
bank in cross flow, we must consider all the
tubes in the bundle at once.
The tubes in a tube bank
are usually arranged either
in-line, or
Staggered

In tube banks, the flow characteristics are dominated by the
Vmax, that occurs within the tube bank.
