Which one of the following non-dimensional numbers is used fortransition from laminar to turbulent flow in free convection? 

Detailed Solution for Test: One Dimensional Unsteady Conduction & Free & Forced Convection - 2 - Question 18

Ans. (d) Laminar to Turbulent Transition: Just as for forced convection, a boundary layer will form for free convection.
The insulating film will be relatively thin toward the leading edge of the surface
resulting in a relatively high convection coefficient. At a Rayleigh number of about 10the flow over a flat plate will transition to a turbulent pattern. The increased
turbulence inside the boundary layer will enhance heat transfer leading to relative high convection coefficients, much like forced convection.
