Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Prof. A. W. Date Department of Mechanical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay Module No. # 01 Lecture No. # 02 Flow Classifications (Refer Slide Time: 00:22) In this second lecture, called flow classification, I will first explain the purpose of the lecture, then tell you something about the vast scope of convective heat transfer through the flow types and how we are going to select from this vast canvas only a few situations that are of still practical interest. (Refer Slide Time: 00:39) So, in convective heat and mass transfer, we recall that we are concerned with Bulk Fluid Motion. As such, everything that affects bulk flow influences heat transfer coefficient - h and the mass transfer coefficient - g. All flows are governed by three-dimensional, time-dependent Partial Differential Equations of Mass, Momentum and Energy transfer. But not all flows can be elegantly treated by analytical methods. Hence, we require numerical methods to solve these equations. The complete equations, under all types of boundary conditions and complexities of flow domains, can only be solved by the technique called Computational Fluid Dynamics. It will solve the entire three-dimensional, time-dependent Partial Differential Equations. Therefore, the scope of the subject is very vast in terms of its physics, in terms of applications and in terms of mathematical complexity. We need to reduce this complexity so as to make it tractable through about 40 lectures in a classroom situation. Therefore, what I am going to do is to classify the kind
