1.5 heat transfer coefficient calculation step by step

heat transfer coefficient

heat transfer coefficient :-How to calculate heat energy using the formulas for various conditions. Nusselt equations are sometimes used to analyze and compute the rate of heat transfer.

HOW DOES A HEAT TRANSFER COFFICIENT WORK? I’d like to talk about the importance of the notion of heat transfer coefficient in this essay.

The term “heat transfer coefficient” refers to the total of all factors, excluding driving forces like, for instance

Q=HA(Delta T)                

In this case h is the heat transfer coefficient but we analyze another case like

Q= (KA/l)*(delta t)

By using these instances, I examine the situation according to the definition of H=KA/l, which states that the heat transfer coefficient is the total of all factors other than temperature difference (the driving force) in a heat transfer. If we study by analogy, it is similar to the mass transfer coefficient.

3. Total Coefficient of Heat Transfer.

There are other ways to compute the heat transfer coefficient, which I’ll go into below the post in the hopes that you fully grasp the ideas.

  1. Dimensional Analysis in conjunction with tests is one method that can be used to determine the convective heat transfer coefficient in forced flow.
  2. The Reynolds Analogy, which compares the transmission of heat and momentum
  3. Analytical Methods, which include both precise and approximative evaluations of boundary layer equations

The results of dimensional analysis do not produce equations that can be resolved. The relevant variables are simply combined into non-dimensional numbers, making it easier to interpret and broaden the variety of applications for experimental data. Whether laminar or turbulent, the important factors for the forced convection heat transfer phenomenon are

The fluid’s density p, specific heat capacity Cp, dynamic or absolute viscosity, and thermal conductivity k are examples of its properties.

Since there are seven variables and four primary dimensions, we would expect three dimensionless numbers.

As before, we choose four independent or core variables as r,V, L, k, and calculate the dimensionless numbers by applying Buckingham p’s method:

Equating the powers of M, L, T and on both sides, we get

M : a + d +1 = 0

L : – 3a + b + c + d = 1 = 0

T : – b –3d –1 = 0

q: – d = 0.

By solving them, d = 0, b = – 1, a = – 1, c = – 1

Reynolds number is the most important flow parameter. To determine whether a flow is laminar or turbulent, it is crucial to know the ratio of inertia forces to viscous forces. When the matching length and velocities of two flows are comparable, it also compares one flow with another. When the Reynolds numbers are equivalent and the geometrical similarities are taken into account, there would be a resemblance in flow between two flows.)

Therefore, the functional relationship is expressed as:

Nu = f (Re, Pr); or Nu = C Rem Prn  

The Dittus-Boelter equation, which has come to be known as the equation, is a classic correlation for the convection heat transfer for turbulent flow in a pipe.

It was published in 1930 and is written as Nu = 0.0243 Re0.8 Pr0.4 for heating of the fluid (Twall > Tfluid) and Nu = 0.0265 Re0.8 Pr0.3 for cooling of the fluid (Twall Tfluid).   

conclusion ;

all the equation which I have mation all are very important we can easily calculate the heat transfer coefficient by using the different condition
