Convection Heat Transfer
In general, convection heat transfer deals with thermal interaction between a surface and an adjacent moving fluid. Examples include the flow of fluid over a cylinder, inside a tube and between parallel plates. Convection also includes the study of thermal interaction between fluids. An example is a jet issuing into a medium of the same or a different fluid.
