Heat transfer co-efficient, hG(Kcal/hr.m2 .°C) and mass velocity of air, G (kg/hr.m2 ) for air flow parallel to the surface in case of constant drying rate in batch drying is related as hG = 0.0176G^0.8. But when the flow of air perpendicular to the surface is encountered, this equation changes to hG = 1.004G^0.37.

For turbulent flow:

Nu = 0.23 Re^0.8 x Pr^0.3.

(hd/k) = 0.23 (density x velocity/viscosity)^0.8 x (viscosity x specific heat/k).

h proportional to velocity^0.8.

h proportional to G^0.8.
