Abstract
HEAT transfer may be described by the coefficient α occurring in Newton's law of cooling, the other factors being the surface and the temperature difference. For bodies determined by one dimension, for example, a sphere of diameter D in an infinite fluid of conductivity λ, it is better to use the dimensionless Nusselt number Nu = αD/λ.
