The important information in this chapter is summarized below.
Convection Heat Transfer Summary
•
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of thermal energy by the mixing and
motion of a fluid or gas.
•
Whether convection is natural or forced is determined by how the medium
is placed into motion.
•
When both convection and conduction heat transfer occurs, the overall heat
transfer coefficient must be used to solve problems.
•
The heat transfer equation for convection heat transfer is
