kc_evenGapOverall

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

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 an overall 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.
