externalflow

Module for external flow heat transfer

This module contains Nusselt number correlations for heat transfer between a solid and a fluid subjected to convective flow over the external surfaces of the object.

under convective flow on the surfaces of the objects.

The module defines classes for the following solid geometries:

• Plate

• Cylinder

• Sphere

• Bank of tubes

Classes

Cylinder()	Models a circular cylinder.
Plate()	Models external flow over flat plat.
Sphere()	Models a sphere.
TubeBank([config, totalrows, tubes_per_row, …])	Models a bank of tubes.
