A system of linear equations that is currently widely used to describe convective heat transfer does not seem to be able to explain some experimental facts. One of the reasons for this may lie in using Newton’s and Fourier’s linear laws when deriving energy and Navier-Stokes equations. Replacing linear equations with nonlinear ones, as well as using an expression for surface heat flux density that is based on laws of physics instead of expressions called ‘cooling laws,’ would allow to solve a wider range of problems, and also would better agree with the experimental data. The use of proposed non-linear system of equations would also permit engineers in chemical, textile, defense, power, and other industries to design more economical and smaller-sized heat exchange devices.
