Abstract
In previous chapters heat transfer by convection or just convection was treated only to the extent that it provides a linear boundary condition of the 3rd kind for conduction problems when the heat transfer coefficient is assumed constant. In this chapter the physical phenomenon of convection is described in more detail.
