Heat transfer co-efficient (h1) for liquids increases with__________________?

Correct answer: A. Increasing temperature

  • A. Increasing temperature
  • B. Decreasing temperature
  • C. Decreasing Reynolds number
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For most liquids, increasing temperature lowers viscosity, which raises the Reynolds number and usually increases the convective heat-transfer coefficient. The other listed trends would generally reduce heat transfer.
