Maximum heat transfer rate is obtained in ______________ flow?
Correct answer: B. Turbulent
- A. Laminar
- B. Turbulent
- C. Creeping
- D. Transition region
Explanation
Turbulent flow produces strong mixing and a thinner thermal boundary layer, which raises the convective heat-transfer coefficient. Laminar and creeping flows have much weaker mixing.
