For both the forced and the free convection situations, the overall heat transfer rate between the fluid and the surface is governed by Fourier's law of cooling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fourier's law of cooling specifically describes heat conduction, not convection. Convection involves both conduction and fluid motion, and is described by Newton's law of cooling.

For Both the Forced and the Free Convection Situations, the Overall
