Training Convection & Dimensionless Numbers

Convection & Dimensionless Numbers

Thermodynamics
Intermediate 120 minutes 5 lessons
Learn forced and natural convection, Newton’s law of cooling, and the key dimensionless numbers (Re, Nu, Pr, Gr, Ra) used in convection correlations.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply Newton’s law of cooling to convection problems
  • Compute Reynolds, Nusselt, Prandtl, and Grashof numbers
  • Select and apply empirical correlations for internal and external flows
  • Distinguish forced from natural convection regimes
  • Calculate convection heat transfer coefficients from correlations
