Convective coefficienct calculator Matt Robinson Thomas Tolman
Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient • Describes Convective Heat Transfer • Needed for all external and internal flow situations
Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient Calculator • Simplifies internal and external flow heat transfer calculations • Automates coefficient calculation leading to more reliable heat transfer calculations • Calculates quickly, allowing for iteration, which in turn gives more accurate convective coefficients and thereby more accurate temperature and flux values • Checks to verify that parameters are within the accurate range
Calculator layout Enter The flow characteristics. Enter Known or Estimated Temperatures.
Calculator Layout Enter Fluid Properties Enter dynamic viscosity of the fluid at the surface temperature The best fit convective coefficient is located in cell C59
Legend • The Legend contains options, units and error messages. • It also tells you which fields are needed for a problem, given the type of flow and geometry.
