Abstract

A brief introductory review of the governing equations for single-phase convective heat transfer is provided in this chapter as a prelude to the more in-depth discussions on various subtopics in convection that are included in this section on single-phase convective heat transfer. In this chapter the focus is to introduce the key definitions and governing equations for flow and heat transfer, and to provide analytical solutions for the velocity, temperature, and the nondimensional heat transfer coefficient in the fully developed regions of simple geometries – flat plate, channels, and pipes. Similarity variables and solutions for these cases are introduced and presented. Forced convection, natural convection, and mixed convection are all considered in this chapter. Selected correlations for the Nusselt number are presented for the more common geometries.
