|

$$\text{Nu} = \frac{hL}{k_f}$$
|
||||
|

where $k_f$ is conductivity of the fluid, $L$ is the representative length (e.g. diameter, length,
|
||||
internal width, etc.).
|
||||
internal width, etc.), and $h$ is heat transfer coefficient.
|
||||
|
||||
Since $h$ is unknown a lot of the time, sometimes Nusselt number must be found through approximating
|
||||
by other dimensionless numbers: Prandtl, Reynolds, and Grashof.

Nusselt number for a laminar forced flow is around 3.66.
|

For a turbulent forced flow it is estimated to be:
