From the literature, I saw different methods ( Kumar et al., Sharples and Charlesworth, Wattmuff et al., and McAdams) but I am confused and couldn't understand which method is appropriate for me.
You can easily find it in any heat transfer text book e.g. refer to chapter 7 of Fundamentals of HMT by bergman and lavine
There are mostly a lot of equations to determine heat coefficients for convection type heat transfers. If you use any formulation of the heat coeff. calculation, you have to check for which conditions are these equations created, for instance, for which Reynolds number (force convection), Rayleigh numbers (free convection), Prandtl numbers, shape, geometry etc. Sometimes, it is recommend to use several formulations and compare results each other.
Dear Mr. A K Azad
Greeting,
One of the beat references for the external forced convection is
"Heat and Mass Transfer A Practical Approach"
by Yunus A Cengel.
In this references chapter depict the external forced convection and depict the equations with examples.
You must to limit your case study
- If your flat plate face up or down or the wind pass over two faces
-If the plate in case of heating or cooling by wind
- If the plate at constant heat flax or constant wall temperature
and there are more cases.
with my respect
