How to calculate convective heat flux coefficient and reference temperature?

Hi,

In numerous AcuSolve tutorials (ACU-T: 3100, ACU-T: 3110) there is a value for convective heat flux coefficient and reference temperature provided. The convective heat transfer coefficient is chosen to model the heat transfer between the steel pipe and the surrounding air.

Where did these values come from and how are they calculated?
