Although we live in the age of pluralism, in which a tendency prevails to put all types of rationality on the same plane, there is a rationality that has a unique position: the instrumental rationality.

文摘Convective heat transfer coefficient is one of the most vital parameters which reveals the thermal efficiency of a pipe flow.To obtain such coefficients for problems with variable pipe wall temperature,numerical iterative methods should be used which could be time-consuming and less accurate.In this paper,thermophysical properties of fluids are assumed to be constant.We define a variable related to the temperature gradient of the pipe wall and study the varying law of the local coefficient.Then,a sample-based scheme is proposed to avoid the calculation of a time-consuming problem in the use of solutions with low computing cost.To verify its accuracy,several problems in normal circle pipes with variable factors,such as the various temperatures of the pipe wall,the different radius of the pipe,and various velocities of fluid flow,are well resolved.Meanwhile,its validity in a convergent pipe is also studied.From the obtained results,the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed scheme can be confirmed.Therefore,the proposed scheme for determining the convective heat transfer coefficient has great potential in engineering problems.
