Tue 8:54:24 AM Slide Nr. 0 of 33 Slides PHYSICAL MECHANISM OF CONVECTION Heat transfer through a fluid is by convection in the presence of bulk fluid motion and by conduction in the absence of it. Chapter 3: FUNDAMENTALS OF CONVECTION
Tue 8:54:24 AM Slide Nr. 1 of 33 Slides PHYSICAL MECHANISM OF CONVECTION Experience shows that convection heat transfer strongly depends on the fluid properties dynamic viscosity m, thermal conductivity k, density r and specific heat Cp, as well as the fluid velocity v. It also depends on the geometry and the roughness of the solid surface, in addition to the type of fluid flow (such as being streamlined or turbulent). Thus, we expect the convection heat transfer relations to be rather complex Chapter 3: FUNDAMENTALS OF CONVECTION

Tue 8:54:24 AM Slide Nr. 3 of 33 Slides PHYSICAL MECHANISM OF CONVECTION An implication of the no-slip and the no-temperature jump conditions is that heat transfer from the solid surface to the fluid layer adjacent to the surface is by pure conduction, Chapter 3: FUNDAMENTALS OF CONVECTION
Slide Nr. 4 of 33 Slides Nusselt Number A Nusselt number of Nu = 1 for a fluid layer represents heat transfer across the layer by pure conduction.
