7.2 THEORETICAL APPROACH
7.2.1 The Flat Plate in Parallel Flow
Parallel flow over a flat plate occurs in numerous
engineering applications. fig-chp7\fig7.3.pptx
shows the arrangement considered for analysis.
Laminar Flow over an I sothermal plate:
A Similarity Solution
The following assumptions are made: Steady,
incompressible, laminar flow, constant fluid
properties, negligible viscous dissipation (low
speed) and recognizing dP/dx = 0 since dP
/dx=0

The boundary layer equations reduce to
The method is first to solve hydrodynamic problem.

The above satisfies the continuity equation. The stream

change the PDE into ODE.
This gives a solution termed as similarity solution and is
a similarity variable.

form given by
From Blasius equation we will find that
Hence the velocity profile is assumed to be uniquely
determined by the similarity variable , which is a
function of both x and y.

In terms of Nu
In the above equations variable properties can be
treated by evaluating all properties at the film
temperature.
Liquid metals have small Pr and the above equations
would not be applicable. Small Pr is characterized
by the fast thermal boundary layer development as
compared with the velocity boundary layer
development (
t
>> ). This will justify the
assumption of uniform velocity (u=u
) throughout
the thermal boundary layer. The solution of the

7.3 TURBULENT FLOW OVER AN ISOTHERMAL

gives the local friction coefficient as
To a reasonable approximation may be expressed as
For turbulent flow boundary layer development is
influenced strongly by random fluctuations in the fluid
and not by molecular diffusion. Hence relative
boundary layer growth does not depend on Pr.

The above will give the local Nusselt number for turbulent

Expressions for average coefficients can be determined
now. But as the turbulent flow is preceded by the
laminar and then the mixed flow, it will be appropriate
to consider the mixed boundary layer conditions.
7.4 MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS
For complete laminar flow or if transition occurs toward
the rear of the plate (0.95 x
c

c
), the laminar
equations may be used. But if transition occurs
sufficiently upstream of the trailing edge, the average
coefficient will depend on both laminar and turbulent

7.8 FLOW ACROSS BANKS OF TUBES
Heat exchangers use banks of tubes shown in fig-
chp7\fig7.7.pptx . The tube can be staggered or
aligned in the direction of the fluid velocity fig-
chp7\fig7.8.pptx .
The coefficient for a tube in the first row is
approximately equal to that for a single tube in
cross flow, whereas larger heat transfer coefficients
are associated with tubes of the inner rows. Tubes
of the first few rows act as turbulence grids, which
increase the heat transfer coefficient in the
following rows. Usually the heat transfer
coefficients stabilize at the 4
th
or 5
th
row.

Average heat transfer coefficients for air flow, for 10
or more rows is given by a correlation according to
Grimson.
Values of C

Example 7.3
Pressurized water is often available at elevated
temperatures and may be used for space heating or
industrial process applications. In such cases it is
customary to use a tube bundle in which water is
passed through the tubes, while air is passed in cross
flow over the tubes. Consider a staggered
arrangement for which the tube outside diameter is
16.4 mm and the longitudinal and transverse pitches
S
L
= 34.3 mm and S
T
= 31.3 mm. There are seven
rows of tubes in the airflow direction and eight tubes
per row. Under typical operating conditions the
cylinder surface temperature is at 70
o
C, while the air
upstream temperature and velocity are 15
o
C and
60
6 m/s, respectively. Determine the air-side convection
coefficient and the rate of heat transfer for the tube
bundle. What is the air-side pressure drop?
