F3 Heat Transfer by Free Convection: Internal Flows

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
VDI Heat Atlas

Part of the book series: VDI-Buch ((VDI-BUCH))

1 General Relationships

The general formulation of the heat transfer problem for internal flow has been described in Chap. F1 (see in particular Fig. 1b). For a comprehensive explanation of the governing equations, similarity parameters, and empirical correlations the reader is referred to [1]. The present equations are for heat transfer in the absence of radiation.
