10. ### Convection heat exchanger

Hey Chestermiller, could you provide more insight into how you derived that equation? Reading online I've only seen the expression $$Ah(T-T_{\infty}) = -\rho Vc \frac{dT}{dt}$$ after googling transient heat convection transfers.

Ah!!!! Thanks so much!
12. ### Convection heat exchanger

I'm still not quite convinced. Why would ##T_h - T_0## be the overall temperature difference?? Would the "overall" temperature difference be the average temperature difference? Which is $$T_h - \frac{T_0 - T_i}{2}$$ ???
13. ### Convection heat exchanger

Hello Chestermiller; really apologise I didn't fill out the homework template. What does the over heat transfer coefficient ##h_c## have anything to do with the temperature difference being ##T_h - T_o##? I would argue that the temperature difference used in ##q = h_c A \Delta T## should be...
14. ### Convection heat exchanger

Hello guys, in the question attached, my understanding is that there is a heat transfer that heats the fluid from an initial at the input, to at the output. This heat transfer is via convection from walls of temperature . Firstly, . Because the walls are and the fluid is of a lower...
