Estimate Heat Transfer Coefficient. Pipe coil id d ci inch. The convection heat transfer coefficient h is a measure of the resistance to heat transfer across a thin near stagnant fluid layer between the bulk of the fluid and the solid surface.
Determine the area of this heat exchanger required for this performance. Q h a δt where q is the rate of heat transfer between the surface and the fluid in btuhr w for si a is the area of the surface in contact with the fluid in ft2 m2 for si. Write the expected range and look the differences.
