Convection can be forced or natural
It is due to the random motion of molecules (diffusion) and
the bulk motion of the fluid particles
Convection could be internal or external

obtain a set of differential equations that governs the

Approximations and Special Conditions
A most common situation is one in which the 2-D boundary
layer can be characterized as
Steady (time independent)
Incompressible ( is constant)
Having constant properties (, , k, etc.) with temperature
Having negligible body forces ( X = Y = 0)
Non-reacting (no chemical reaction) without internal heat
generation
In addition, since o is very small, the following B.L.

When dP*/dx*= 0 and Pr = Sc = 1, the boundary layer equations
(momentum, energy and mass concentration) are exactly of the
same form.
If dP*/dx*= 0 then U

Evaporative Cooling: Simultaneous Heat &
Mass Transfer
As shown in the figure below, the Evaporative cooling
process of heat and mass transfer occurs when a gas
flows over a liquid surface.
There are numerous industrial and environmental
applications of evaporative cooling process.





In the evaporative cooling process the energy required for
evaporation of the liquid comes from the internal energy of
the liquid. As a consequence, the temperature of the liquid
reduces or cooling effect occurs

Under steady state operation, the latent energy lost by the
liquid must be replenished by energy transfer to the liquid from
its surroundings or by energy addition by other means (e.g.
electrical heating of the fluid
By energy conservation on a control surface on the liquid

Solution Methods in Internal and External
Convection Transfer
The primary objective in internal and external convection
transfer is to obtain convection coefficients for different flow
geometries. The convection coefficients are subsequently used
to obtain heat or mass transfer rates.
Solution methods in obtaining convection coefficients include:
Experimental or Empirical Method
Theoretical Method
Non-dimensionalized approach is generally followed, and the
local and average convection coefficients are generally
correlated by the following form of equations:

The empirical method involves heat and mass transfer
measurements and data correlation using appropriate
dimensionless parameters
For fixed Prandtl numbers for a given fluid, log-log plots of Re
versus Nu generally are straight lines as illustrated below (left).






The straight line plots may be represented by an equation of
the form:

Special case of exact solution to convection transfer equations
(example 6.4 in text)
Parallel flow or Couette flow is one of the situations where exact
solutions can be obtained for convection transfer equations. A
special case of parallel flow involves stationary and moving
plates of infinite extent separated by a distance L with the
intervening space filled by an incompressible fluid as shown
below:




With the assumption of steady state conditions, incompressible
fluid with constant properties, no body forces (I.e. X=0, and
Y=0), and no internal energy generation the convection transfer
equations reduce to the following:

1. Continuity Equation
For incompressible fluid (= constant) and parallel flow
(v = 0) the continuity equation reduces to:


The x velocity component is therefore independent of x, and
the velocity field is said to be fully developed.
2. Momentum Equation
With u / v = 0, v = 0 and X = 0, the momentum equation
reduces to:


In parallel flow the pressure gradient P / x = 0, and the x-

The maximum temperature occurs in the fluid and there is heat
transfer to the hot and cold plates. The temperature distribution
is a string function of the velocity of the moving plate.
6. Viscous Energy Dissipation
The viscous energy dissipation was defined as:



With v = 0, and du/dx = 0, the viscous energy dissipation
equation reduces to:


For U = 0 there is no viscous dissipation, and the temperature
distribution is linear.
