Typical heat exchanger materials and their thermal conductivities

Typical convective heat transfer coefficients for some common fluid flow applications: Free Convection – air, gases and dry vapors : 0.5 – 1000 (W/(m2K)) Forced Convection – air, gases and dry vapors: 10 – 1000 (W/(m2K)) Forced Convection – water and liquids: 50 – 10000 (W/(m2K))

To increase heat-transfer rates, the velocity through a jacket can be increased by recirculating the cooling or heating liquid. For simple jackets without baffles, heat-transfer will be mainly by natural convection and the heat-transfer coefficient will range from 200 to 400 W/m2 °C.

The overall heat transfer coefficient can be calculated from the following thermal resistances as [35]:(18) 1 U A = 1 η o h o A o + δ t k t A t + 1 h i A i where h is convection heat transfer coefficient, A is heat transfer surface area, kt is thermal conductivity of the tube wall, δ is the tube wall thickness, ηo is …

The heat transfer coefficient is a very important parameter during the thermal application, and depends on many parameter such as the materials of fluid temperature.

Also, it shows the variation of fin efficiency with thermogeometric in longitudinal convecting fin with insu- lated tip.
