What does the Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient depend on?

The overall heat transfer coefficient depends on several factors, including the thermal conductivities of the materials involved, the thickness of each material layer, the heat transfer modes (conduction, convection, and radiation), and the nature of the fluid flow (laminar or turbulent). It also depends on the surface area for heat transfer and the temperature difference between the hot and cold fluids. In heat exchangers, optimizing these factors helps achieve efficient heat transfer.
