The fluid temperature (Tb),
referred to as the bulk temperature, varies according
to the details of the
situation. For flow adjacent to a hot or cold surface, Tb
is the temperature of the fluid that is
"far" from the surface, for instance, the center of
the flow channel. For boiling or condensation,
Tb is equal to
the saturation temperature.
