Abstract

A single comprehensive equation is developed for the rate of heat and mass transfer from a circular cylinder in cross flow, covering a complete range of Prandtl number (Pr) and the entire range of Reynolds number (Re) for which date are available. This expression is a lower bound; free-steam turbulence, and effects, channel blockage, free convection, may increase the rate.
