Analytical determination of the heat transfer coefficient for turbulent flow past a partially heated flat plate

摘要

This paper presents an analytical solution to determine the average convection heat-transfer coefficient for turbulent flow over partially heated flat plate. In this approach a particular expression is used which uniquely simplifies the expression for local heat-transfer coefficient for the plate. This results in obtaining a general equation for average heat-transfer coefficient for a heated plate length in terms of the total length of the plate.
