For more accurate value of Nud in the midrange of Reynolds numbers between 20,000 and
400,000, it is recommended to use the following relation
2) Non-Circular Cylinder
For the flow across non-circular cylinder, the following equation may be used
Where the constants C and n are tabulated in Table 6-2 below. Properties for using this
equation are evaluated at the film temperature as indicated by the subscript f.
B) Sphere
For the heat transfer from spheres to a flowing gas across it, the following relation may be
used:

A more important relation is a single equation for gases and liquids flowing across spheres:
Which is valid for the range 3.5 < Red < 8 × 104 and 0.7 < Pr < 380. Properties in this
equation are evaluated at the free-stream temperature T∞.
