Convective heat transfer

Heat transfer by convection is emphasized by the present treatment, which includes mass transfer by convection primarily by analogy. After establishing a sound theoretical base at the molecular level, giving insight into the physical origin of transport properties, equations describing convective transport on the continuum level are derived. Examples are given of physical situations described by one-dimensional formulations. On the basis of these basic phenomena and solution techniques, such complex applications of the theory as laminar and turbulent duct and boundary layer flows are treated. Attention is also given to integral methods, natural convection, boiling, and condensation.
