The velocity boundary layer development on a flat plate. The boundary layer is initially laminar ,but some distance from the leading edge, small disturbance are amplified and transition region, and the boundary layer eventually becomes completely turbulent
Figure 4.3 Heat transfer coefficient and velocity distribution. Three different regions may be delineated in Turbulent Boundary layer is 1. A laminar sublayer in which transport is dominated by diffusion and the velocity profile is nearly linear. 2. A buffer layer in which diffusion and turbulent mixing are comparable 3. A turbulent zone in which transport is dominated by turbulent mixing. In calculating boundary layer behavior it is frequently reasonable to assume that transition begins at some location x c. This location is determined by a dimensionless grouping of variables called the Reynolds number νρ X Re x = µ where x is the distance from the leading edge. The critical Reynolds number is the value of ( Re Rec =5×105 ) for which transition begins, and for flow over a flat plate

4.5 Heat transfer coefficient To calculate heat transfer coefficient by several methods: 1. Solve the boundary layer equation(Exact solution). 2. Using experimental data.(empirical correlation) In convection heat transfer the key unknown is the heat transfer coefficient. From Eq. (4.1) we obtain the following equation in terms of the dimensionless Parameters:
h x
=
k f dT L dx
y =0
4.7
Inspection of this equation suggests that the appropriate dimensionless form of the heat transfer coefficient is the so-called Nusselt number after Wilhelm Nussult, Nu, defined by h L Nu = c 4.8 k f

Ch 4: Convection of Heat Transfer

The Local Nusselt Number depends only on x, Re, and Pr:
= f(x , Re ,P r )
Nu x
4.9
Once this functional relation is i s known, either from an analysis or from experiments with a particular fluid. Moreover, from the local value of Nu, we can first obtain the local value of
h and then an average value of the heat transfer coefficient h and an average Nusselt number Nu l

Example 4.2 A 25µm-diameter polished-platinum wire 6 mm long is to be used for a hot-wire anemometer to measure the velocity of 20°C air in the range between 2 and 10 m/s (see below Fig). Its temperature is to be maintained at 230°C by adjusting the current. Calculate heat transfer rate required current as a function of air velocity. Solution Since the wire is very thin, conduction along it can be neglected; also, the temperature gradient in the wire at any cross section can be disregarded. At the free stream temperature, the air has a thermal conductivity of 0.0251 W/m °C and a kinematic viscosity of 1.57 x10 5 2 m /s. At a velocity of 2 m/s the Reynolds number is

Example 4.3 The crankcase of an automobile is approximately 0.6 m long , 0.2 m wide, and 0.1 m deep. Assuming that the surface temperature of the crankcase is 350 K , estimate the rate of heat flow from the crankcase to atmospheric air at 276 K at a road speed of 30 m/s. Assume that the vibration of the engine and the chassis induce the transition from laminar to turbulent flow so near to the leading edge that, for practical purposes, the boundary layer is turbulent over the entire surface. Neglect radiation and use for the front and rear surfaces the same average convection heat transfer coefficient as for the bottom and sides.
A=0.6x0.2+2(0.1x0.6)+2(0.1x0.2) A= 0.28 m

4.5 External Flow Across Banks of Tubes Heat transfer to or from a bank (or bundle) of tubes in cross flow is relevant to numerous industrial applications, such as steam generation in a boiler or air cooling in the coil of an air conditioner
Figure 4.8 Schematic of a tube bank in cross flow.
The tube rows of a bank are either Staggered or Aligned in the direction of the fluid velocity V ( Figure Figure 7.9 ). The configuration is characterized by the tube diameter D D and by the transverse pitch S T T and longitudinal pitch S L measured between tube centers
(a) Aligned
(b) Staggered.
Figure 4.9 Tube arrangements in a bank.
The heat transfer coefficient associated with a tube is determined by its position in the bank. The coefficient for a tube in the first row is approximately equal to that for a single tube in cross flow, whereas larger heat transfer coefficients are associated with tubes of the inner rows. The tubes of the first few rows act as turbulence grids, which increase the heat transfer coefficient for tubes in the following rows.

Example 4.5 A tube bundle in which the water is passed through the tubes, while air is passed in cross flow over the tubes. Consider a staggered arrangement for which the tube outside diameter is 16.4 mm and the longitudinal and transverse pitches are S L= 34.3 mm and S T T = 31.3 mm. There are seven rows of tubes in the airflow direction and eight tubes per row.

Determine 1- the air-side convection coefficient ? 2- the air-side pressure drop?
