Abstract
The use of non-dimensional parameters to express the results of heat transfer experiments and analogies with other problems in fluid mechanics are discussed. Applications of fundamental processes in convection are instanced in the thermal precipitator and hot wire anemometer. As examples of processes involving convectional evaporation the liquid drop and the wetted plate exposed to the wind and the application of such laboratory experiments in large-scale industrial plants and in meteorology are discussed.
