San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 15 Can someone tell me the dependence of heat transfer by forced convection past a body (circular cylinder perpendicular to the flow) upon velocity, density of the air (air is the medium), temperature of the cylinder, and temperature of the air, at low Reynolds numbers? In other words, what is the functional form of f, where dQ/dt = f (v, rho, Tw, Ta) ? If one is clever, one or two of these devices can be used to read mass flow rate of a gas directly. This is my goal. Thanks in advance Tim Drabik ...sdccs7!drabik
