Heat transfer coefficients for water or steam in plain circular tubes: Fully-developed turbulent flow
Abstract
This Data Item is available as part of the ESDU Sub-series on Heat Transfer. Heat transfer coefficient data and enthalpy data specifically for the fully developed turbulent flow of water or steam in plain circular tubes are provided. The method uses generalized Stanton number data. The data are presented in the easy to use form of the variation of the physical properties of water substance with temperature and pressure were already taken into account. The data are applicable for any process involving single phase heat transfer where the working fluid is water or steam, e.g. process heat exchangers where cooling water is used on one side.
