There are certain semiempirical equations for estimating heat transfer coefficients for liquid metals flowing through regular shapes. These contain the factor ψ , which is the average, effective value of the ratio of the eddy diffusivity of heat transfer to that for momentum transfer. The main problem in liquid metal heat transfer has been to evaluate this quantity.
