Hi All,

I am doing Heat Transfer Analysis for flow over flat plate. Here conditions are WATER temp = 25 Deg Celcius, WATER Velocity = 10 m/s

GLASS(surface): Dia = 2 cm, Temp of surface = 60 deg Celcius. This is Forced convection case. Surface is vertical & flow is also vertically downward. From emperical relation i found VERY LARGE value heat transfer Convection coefficient(h) = 10000.

I think this value is not appropriate value. So can any body tell about certain appropriate co-relation for FORCED CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER. bcos above calculated value is too high for water in this case.

any help would be appreciable. thanks alot

you can get information frm cornell university tutorials for fluent
