convective heat transfer correlations
natural convection;vertical plates, vertical cylinders, horizontal plates, horizontal cylinders,spheres, rectangular enclosures
forced convection for internal flow;laminar flow, turbulent flow
forced convection for external flow;flow parallel to plane surfaces, cylinders in crossflow,single spheres, tube banks in crossflow,
special considerations;whether to evaluate fluid properties at bulk or film temperaturewhat significant length is usedwhat is the allowable Pr, Re range for a given set of data
