Typical Overall Heat-Transfer Coefficients

The document lists typical overall heat-transfer coefficients (U values) for different types of heat transfer processes. It provides U value ranges from 1-6000 W/m2K for various combinations of free convection gas, forced convection gas and liquid, condensing vapor water, and boiling liquid water heat transfer. The U values given can be used as a guide for estimating heat transfer rates between materials or systems under different conditions.
