The convective heat transfer coefficient (h),
defines, in part, the heat transfer due to convection.
The convective heat transfer
coefficient is sometimes referred to as a film
coefficient and represents
the thermal resistance of a relatively stagnant layer of
fluid between a heat transfer surface
and the fluid medium. Common units used to measure the
convective heat transfer coefficient
are Btu/hr - ft2 -
oF.
