Convection Heat Transfer Quiz

Convection heat transfer strongly depends on the fluid properties dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat, as well as the fluid velocity. It also depends on the geometry and the roughness of the solid surface, in addition to the type of fluid flow (such as being streamlined or turbulent).

A fluid in direct contact with a solid 'sticks' to the surface due to viscous effects, and there is no slip.

Viscosity is the fluid property responsible for the no-slip condition and the development of the boundary layer in convection heat transfer.
