| Knowing whether the flow is laminar or turbulent is also an important concept since convective heat transfer is improved by turbulence in the flow. In many food-processing applications, including cooling and freezing, forced convective heat transfer occurs between a fluid medium and the solid food item (Dincer, 1993). Most roofing materials have reasonably similar temperature-dependent conductive and convective heat transfer properties, and the latter variable is more a function of wind speed than anything else. |
