description The mechanisms and consequences of convective heat transfer in humid air are examined in this thorough review, which highlights the importance of this process in a variety of physical contexts, such as climate science, engineering, and meteorology. A key component of the thermal dynamics of the atmosphere, convective heat transfer is fueled by temperature gradients and the presence of moisture. It also affects weather patterns, energy distribution, and climate change. This review article summarizes the body of research on the basic ideas of convective heat transfer, including how humidity affects buoyancy, airflow patterns, and thermal conductivity. In addition, it looks at how convective processes affect regional and global climate systems, emphasizing the feedback loops that exist between atmospheric phenomena, heat transfer, and humidity. This review also covers the difficulties and developments in simulating convective heat transfer in humid air. This will ultimately help improve designs and strategies in a variety of fields that depend on thermal management. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the important published articles on the enhancement of convective heat transfer in the presence of humid air and its physical perspectives. Furthermore, this review attempts to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications of convective heat transfer in the context of climate change by combining physical viewpoints with empirical data given in previous published literature.
