Heat Transfer Outside Various Geometries in Forced Convection

6 HEAT TRANSFER OUTSIDE VARIOUS GEOMETRIES IN FORCED CONVECTION 

In many cases a fluid is flowing over completely immersed bodies such as spheres, tubes, plates, and so on, and heat transfer is occurring between the fluid and the solid only. Many of these shapes are of practical interest in process engineering. The sphere, cylinder, and flat plate are perhaps of greatest importance with heat transfer between these surfaces and a moving fluid frequently encountered. 

When heat transfer occurs during immersed flow, the flux is dependent on the
