surface and advect heat away from the point of contact by its motion.Newton’s Law of Cooling provides a simple expression for this rate of convective heat transfer. Q = hA (Ts – Tf) (1)Where Q is the rate of heat convected in watts; Ts is the temperature of the solid in C°; Tf if thetemperature of the fluid in C°; A is the area of the surface in contact with the fluid in square meters;and h is the convective heat transfer coefficient in watts/ square meter-C°.Many factors affect convective heat transfer such as its geometry, type of flow, boundary conditions,type of fluid used and its properties. In this experiment, forced convection occurs when fluid flow,induced
