Heat Transfer of Slurry Flow with Internal Heat Generation : 3rd Report, Laminar Heat Transfer of Thermal Entrance Region in a Circular Tube for a Pseudo-Plastic Fluid

Abstract

This paper deals with an analysis to determine the heat transfer characteristics of thermal entrance region for the established laminar flow of a heat generating pseudo-plastic fluid through a circular tube with wall heat transfer. The conditions of wall heat transfer treated in this paper are for both cases of uniform wall heat flux and uniform wall temperature. In this analysis, the numerical calculations were done by means of a digital computer KDC-1. The results for no internal heat generation with uniform wall temperature which were analyzed as a special case agree very well with those by Bird et al⁽²⁾. And the heat transfer characteristics in the case of uniform wall heat flux approach those of a fully developed region which were calculated by U. Grigull⁽⁵⁾.
