Dittus-Boelter correlation for one-phase flow in a tube

Information

Dittus-Boelter's correlation for the computation of the heat transfer coefficient in one-phase flows.

Revision history:

  • 20 Dec 2003 by Francesco Casella:
    Input variables changed. This function now computes the heat transfer coefficient as a function of all the required fluid properties and flow parameters.
