Results of an experimental investigation of the average 
heat transfer of a sphere in the region of Reynolds numbers 
0.1-40 are given. The increase in the Nusselt number with 
increase in the constraint parameter of flow is established. Based 
on the fractal theory, the influence of the degree of constraint on 
the heat transfer is physically explained and a quantitative correction 
is introduced.
