Question

In forced convection, the fluid is forced to move by external means such as a fan, pump, or the wind. You must provide an answer before moving to the next part.
True / False.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The heat trasnfer caused by the bulk movement of molecules of fluids is known as convection. Convection has two constituent process advection and diffusion. Examples of natural convection include atmospheric circulation, weather, oceanic circulation, mantle convection etc.

In forced convection the movement of fluid is caused by an external device (source). A fan, pump used to move fluid are external sources that cause fluid movement, the movement of fluid is not happening naturally.
