CHAPTER 6 Empirical and Practical Relations for Forced-Convection Heat Transfer 313
4. Select an equation that fits the geometry and flow regime and reevaluate properties, if
necessary, in accordance with stipulations and the equation.
5. Proceed to calculate the value of h and/or the heat-transfer rate.
We should note that the data upon which the empirical equations are based are most
often taken under laboratory conditions where it is possible to exert careful control over
temperature and flow variables. In a practical application such careful control may not be
present and there may be deviations from heat-transfer rates calculated from the equations
given here. Our purpose is not to discourage the reader by this remark, but rather to indicate
that sometimes it will be quite satisfactory to use a simple correlation over a more elaborate
expression even if the simple relation has a larger scatter in its data representation. Our
purpose has been to present a variety of expressions (where available) so that some choices
can be made.
Finally, the most important relations of this chapter are listed in Table 6-8 for quick
reference purposes.
Our presentation of convection is not yet complete. Chapter 7 will discuss the relations
that are used for calculation of free convection heat transfer as well as combined free and
forced convection. At the conclusion of that chapter we will present a general procedure to
follow in all convection problems that will extend the outline given in the five steps above.
This procedure will make use of the correlation summary Tables 5-2 and 6-8 along with a
counterpart presented in Table 7-5 for free convection systems.
REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. What is the Dittus-Boelter equation? When does it apply?
2. How may heat-transfer coefficients be calculated for flow in rough pipes?
3. What is the hydraulic diameter? When is it used?
4. What is the form of equation used to calculate heat transfer for flow over cylinders and
bluff bodies?
