Question:
Rate of heat transfer in case of forced convection when compared with natural convection is
Rate of heat transfer in case of forced convection when compared with natural convection is
Show Hint
Forced convection enhances heat transfer by increasing fluid velocity.

- Almost equal
- Lower
- Higher
- Depends on the conditions \& situation
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Forced convection involves external means (fans, pumps) to move fluid, increasing heat transfer.
Natural convection depends only on buoyancy forces due to temperature gradients.
