Abstract
IN his letter in NATURE of April 9, p. 527, Mr. H. F. P. Purday proposes to add yet another purely empirical formula to the many already proposed for representing the transfer of heat from a tube to a fluid passing through it. I cannot believe that much progress is possible along this line. Any further advance must, I think, be based on physical considerations, which will indicate the form of the functions involved, as to which the theory of dimensions can give us no information whatever.
