Abstract
In Chapter 1 it has been shown that to evaluate convection heat transfer, the magnitude of the coefficient h in Newton’s equation has to be found. The study of convection centres round the behaviour of the fluid flowing past a surface, and the subject matter divides itself under various headings concerned with the type of flow situation or the method of analysis. This chapter shows how the convection coefficient may be determined by an approximate analytical method for simple cases of laminar flow. References to other methods will also be given.
