kc_evenGapLaminar

Mean heat transfer coefficient of even gap | laminar flow regime | considering boundary layer development | heat transfer at ONE or BOTH sides | identical and constant wall temperatures

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

Calculation of the mean convective heat transfer coefficient kc for a laminar fluid flow through an even gap at different fluid flow and heat transfer situations. Note that additionally a failure status is observed in this function to check if the intended boundary conditions are fulfilled. See more information.
