Nu_Avg = Nu*(1+(a/(L/D)))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Nusselt Number for Short Pipes - Nusselt Number for Short Pipes is a measure of the ratio between heat transfer by convection and heat transfer by conduction alone in the pipes of small lengths.
Nusselt Number - The Nusselt Number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer at a boundary in a fluid. Convection includes both advection and diffusion.
Constant a - Constant a is the empirical constant given according to conditions in sutherland equation.
Length - (Measured in Meter) - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Nusselt Number: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Constant a: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

What is internal flow?

internal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. The internal flow configuration represents a convenient geometry for heating and cooling fluids used in chemical processing, environmental control, and energy conversion technologies.

An example includes flow in a pipe.
