Approximate calculation of the mean convective heat transfer coefficient kc for forced convection with a fully developed fluid flow in a turbulent regime.

A detailed documentation for this convective heat transfer calculation can be found in its underlying function kc_approxForcedConvection_KC . Note that additionally a failure status is observed in this function to check if the intended boundary conditions are fulfilled. See more information .
