Calculation of mean convective heat transfer coefficient kc of a straight pipe for a hydrodynamically developed turbulent fluid flow at uniform wall temperature or uniform heat flux with neglecting or considering of pressure loss influence. Note that additionally a failure status is observed in this function to check if the intended boundary conditions are fulfilled. See more information .

(kc, Pr, Re, Nu, failureStatus) = kc_turbulent(IN_con, IN_var)
