Abstract: | This paper presents comprehensive correlation equations of the local Nusselt numbers and surface shear stresses for laminar forced convection, natural convection, and mixed convection on vertical and horizontal flat plates which are maintained with uniform wall temperature or uniform surface heat flux. The correlation for pure forced convection and pure natural convection are very accurate for any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. The correlations for mixed convection coincide very well with the numerical results over the entire regimes of mixed convection intensity and Prandtl number for the eight cases of the two plates with distinct thermal boundary conditions and buoyancy-assisting and-opposing flow conditions. |
