We recently added natural convection heat transfer calculations from a flat isothermal surface to auxi. We need to extend the software to also describe horizontal cylinders.
Purpose
The purpose of this issue is to add calculations to describe natural convection heat transfer from isothermal horizontal cylinders.
Approach
Build further on the work already done for flat surfaces. Use correlations and calculations from the latest edition of Lienhard, A Heat Transfer Textbook. It is freely available on the internet.
