LAMINAR_Q_CONST

This function returns the theoretical fully developed laminar Nusselt number for internal pipe flow with constant wall heat flux. It provides the standard reference value used in internal-convection analysis when thermal and velocity profiles are fully developed.

Excel Usage

=LAMINAR_Q_CONST()

Returns (float): Constant heat flux Nusselt number (-).

Example 1: Constant heat flux reference value
