Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient
Convective heat transfer coefficient, abbreviated as \(h_c\), also called film coefficient or film effectiveness, is a porportional constant between heat flux and force from the flow of heat, this also depends on the type of fluid and fluid velocity.
Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient Formula
\(\large{ h_c = \frac { Q } { \Delta T } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ h_c }\) = heat transfer coefficient
\(\large{ Q }\) = amount of heat transfered area of the surface
\(\large{ \Delta T }\) = temperature differential between solid surface and surrounding fluid area
