Winter-regime surface heat loss from heated streams. Research report
Evaluation of the rate of surface heat exchange between the water and air has become very significant because of the need to determine the thermal response of streams to heat inputs. The different mechanisms of heat exchange that contribute to the total heat exchange were discussed and the various empirical formular to compute each of the components, as developed by various investigators, were presented and discussed. The suitability of each empirical formula was examined. The methods to linearize the total heat exchange rate were reviewed and a new linearized relation was proposed. General equations, suitable for winter-regime conditions, were presented to compute the coefficients of the linearized heat loss model. (GRA)
