editI have created this article having noticed that this material was scattered about in several different places and it seemed to make sense to consolidate it. Also this article was on the list at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences.
It may need some more work as this is really just a consolidation at this point.

- Good job. I'm fixing it up and referencing it whenever such conditions are referenced. For example, I note with some trepidation that "Newton's law of cooling" (basically the solution for a subclass of lumped capacitance systems) is mentioned as "the" solution for convective heat transfer! It really has nothing to do with convective heat transfer per se, except that it often happens that it turns up when convection cooling is slow and the object cooled conducts heat internally well. So all the transient heat conduction cases where this model is applicable or not, need to be sorted out. The convection article has a much better approach to convective heat transfer than does the one on convective heat transfer!
- But thanks-- it can all be dircted here, when needed. Newton's law of cooling should probably be directed here also, and I'll do that. SBHarris 23:27, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
