Convective heat transfer coefficient -
The value of a convection heat transfer coefficient depends upon the physical configuration as well as upon several properties of the fluid involved.
Those correlations are typically expressed in terms of dimensionless numbers. The dimensionless numbers used for forced convection heat transfer coefficients are the Nusselt number (Nu), Prandtl number (Pr), and Reynolds number (Re).
It is not the function of the rate of convection.
i.e., h = f(v, D, ρ, μ, k, Cp)
k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid in kW/m-K
D is a characteristic length parameter, such as the diameter for flow through a pipe or flow around a circular cylinder in m
V is a characteristic velocity, such as the average velocity for pipe flow in m/s
ρ is the density of the fluid in kg/m3
µ is the viscosity of the fluid in N-s/m2
Cp is the heat capacity of the fluid in kJ/kg-K.
