Nusselt number page 1

I have recently found the link below which reports a collection of Nusselt number correlations for several scenarios. Nothing new under the sun, anyway I rate it as useful

The section on horizontal plates appears to be missing, though...

Are all the equations from Incropera?

Yup… didn’t realize that section (natural convection and horizontal plates) was completely out of service.And yeah, I think all the correlations are from Incropera P. Dewitt.

Thanks, still a good find.

Thanks IRstuff.

I agree it is still a good link as it gathers many useful correlations and it is a quick-reference resource. Anyway I had overrated this before your previous post: the incomplete natural convection section is definitely a not trivial miss.

It's possible that the owner is no longer there. His homepage's list of "recent" activities are in the late 90s. I sent an email to the address there, so...

Well, the email bounced; not surprising...
