From measurements of the heat transfer in flow over a body it is known that the mean heat transfer coefficient α_m
is dependent on the following quantities

α_m
= f(L, w_m, , λ, ν, c) .

Using similarity theory show that the mean heat transfer coefficient can be represented as a function of three variables

Nu = f(Re, P r)

with Nu = α_mL/λ, Re = w_mL/ν and P r = ν/a.
