Abstract
A large number of experimental and analytical correlations are available for heat transfer coefficient and flow friction factor for laminar and turbulent flow through channels. In this article, a comprehensive review is made of the available correlations for the laminar and turbulent flow of single-phase Newtonian fluid through circular and noncircular ducts. The effect of property variations is discussed. Important correlations are summarized in tabular form and specific correlations are recommended for a heat exchanger design.
