Heat Transfer of Slurry Flow with Internal Heat Generation : 4th Report, Laminar Heat Transfer in Thermal Entrance Region between Parallel Plates for Pseudo-Plastic and Dilatant Fluids

Abstract

This paper deals with an analysis to determine the heat transfer characteristics in the thermal entrance region for the established laminar flow of a heat generating pseudo-plastic or dilatant fluid between two parallel plates with wall heat transfer. The thermal conditions at wall treated in this paper are for both cases of uniform wall heat flux and uniform wall temperature. In this analysis, the numerical calculations were performed by means of a digital computer KDC-1. As the result of calculations it is shown that the relationship between the Nusselt number and the distance from inlet in the presence of internal heat generation is different from that in the absence of internal heat source.
