In this research, we determine heat transferred by convection in fluid problems by first-order ordinary differential equations. So in this research work first we discuss the solution of ordinary homogeneous and non-homogeneous differential equation and then apply the solution of first-order ODEs to heat transferring particularly in heat convection in fluid.展开更多
