functionkc_laminar

Mean heat transfer coefficient of straight pipe | uniform wall temperature or uniform heat flux | hydrodynamically developed or undeveloped laminar flow regime

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

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