Heat transfer coefficient is a quantitative
characteristic of convective heat transfer
between a fluid medium (a fluid) and the
surface (wall) flowed over by the fluid.
Heat Transfer
When a fluid flows by a surface there is a thin
almost stationary layer or film of fluid
adjacent to the wall which presents most of
the resistance to heat transfer
