The present paper investigate the problem of interaction (coupling) of forced convection inside a vertical pipe and natural convection outside the pipe. Both the cases of counterflow and parallel flow are considered. The problem finds applications in heat exchanger apparatuses of various types where a warm (cold) fluid is flowing inside a conductive pipe bathed in or surrounded by a colder (warmer) fluid. Clearly, the heat transfer through the pipe wall is a direct result of the interaction between the forced convection inside the pipe and the natural convection outside the pipe.
