- Abstract
- Two FORTRAN IV version 13 programs are described which obtain the analytical solutions for convective heat transfer coefficients related to either the phase lag or the amplitude ratio. The first, entitled BL, uses the ratio of the wall to driven hot fluid temperature to caclculate the coefficients. The second, entitled JCL, uses the phase-lag angle between the sinusoidally driven fluid and wall temperature to calculate the heating fluid and coolant convective coefficients.
