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.
