All analogy equations connecting friction factor and heat transfer co-efficient apply only to ___________________?

Correct answer: A. Wall or skin friction

  • A. Wall or skin friction
  • B. Form friction
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Turbulent flow

Explanation

Heat-transfer and friction analogies relate wall shear stress to heat transfer at the fluid-solid interface, so they apply to skin or wall friction. Form friction arises from pressure drag and is not represented by these boundary-layer analogies.
