It is the temperature of the fluid in the undisturbed flow before it comes into contact with any solid surface. In free convection, the temperature of the fluid near the surface will be influenced by the temperature of the surface itself. As the fluid comes into Show more…

The mode of heat transfer that occurs when a fluid in motion comes into contact with a solid surface whose temperature differs from the moving fluid is known as: convection radiation none of the above conduction
Madhur L.
Determine the heat transfer by convection over a surface of 0.5 m^2 area if the surface is at 160 °C and the fluid is at 40 °C. The value of the convective heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m^2K. Also, estimate the temperature gradient at the surface given k = 1 W/mK.
