Flow Across Cylinder and Spheres


A) Cylinder
1) Circular Cylinder
The most comprehensive relation for the flow across circular cylinder in which applicable
over the complete range of available data

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∞.
