	Hi Guys, Can anyone advise the heat transfer coefficient (h) for hot water (heating medium) in a vessel jacket? I can calculate h for the process side and x/k for the stainless steel wall, but I am having difficulties finding a value for h on the jacket side. Any information regarding suitable websites to find this information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Aussie Ray

	Quick number, assuming water both sides and no agitation, 565 W/m2/K, for an overall coefficient. From Kern, p 717.
