6.4 Thermal Management Fundamental cont. • Newton’s Law of Cooling h (W/m^2K) = heat transfer coefficient Tƒ = bulk temperature of the nearby fluid. A = wetted surface area Ts = surface temperature X
6.4 Thermal Management Fundamental cont. • Heat Transfer coefficient, h • not a fundamental fluid property like Thermal conductivity. • Many heat transfer literature has many theoretical equations and empirical correlations • Used to determine the prevailing heat transfer coefficient for specified fluids that are flowing within channels or along surfaces of different kinds of geometries. • These relations can be expressed by an non-dimensional form: C = geometric constant Re (Reynolds number ) = non-dimensional velocity Pr (Prandtl number) = non-dimensional fluid characteristic, describing the momentum vs. thermal diffusion characteristics of the fluid. Nu (Nusselt number) = non-dimensional heat transfer coefficient
