Analytical Heat Transfer
a. Sketch the “thermal boundary-layer thickness” distribution on the entire convex surface and explain the
results.
b. Sketch the possible local heat transfer coefficient distribution on the convex surface and explain the results.
c. Define the similarity parameters (dimensionless parameters) that are important to determine the local heat
transfer coefficient on the convex surface.
d. Write down the relationship among those similarity
parameters and give explanations.
e. Write down how to determine the local heat flux from
the convex surface.
