contents This work proposes an extensive review of laminar and turbulent forced convective heat transfer correlations inside tubes by analyzing both experimental and computational research. Convective heat transfer is influenced by fluid turbulence and boundary layers, with geometry significantly impacting flow conditions. Nusselt number correlations quantifying the heat transfer coefficient are vital for various applications. Previous reviews are summarized regarding nanofluid heat transfer modeling approaches in circular tubes. Additionally, comparisons of tube shapes like circular, elliptical and flat geometries are needed. Recent database searches indicate more experimental than numerical studies have been conducted, with greater focus on turbulent flows. This review systematically evaluates laminar and turbulent forced heat transfer correlations reported in the open literature, discussing both older established work as well as newer findings to provide a holistic perspective. The goal is to better understand convective transportation dependencies for optimized thermal design and performance improvement.
