Thermimage (version 2.0)

Nusseltforced: Nusselt number for forced convection.

Description

Nusselt number for forced convection. Used in estimating convective heat loss.

Usage

Nusseltforced(a = 0.24, n = 0.6, V = 1, L = 1, Ta = 20)

Arguments

a

coefficient used in calculating Nusselt number

n

coefficient used in calculating Nusselt number

V

Air velocity in metres/second. Used in call to Reynolds()

L

Characteristic dimension in metres.

Ta

Air temperature in degrees celsius. Used in call to Reynolds().
