Experimental Study of Laminar Heat Transfer to In-Tube Flow of Non-Newtonian Fluids

Abstract: An experimental study is reported of heat transfer to laminar flow of two water-methocel pseudoplastic (power law) solutions in a circular tube subjected to a uniform wall heat flux. The object of this study was to evaluate the effects of non-Newtonian behavior and temperature-dependent consistency on heat transfer. The experimental Nusselt numbers are compared with numerical predictions and experimental data. Two correlations are recommended according to the temperature-dependence of the rheological character… Show more

“…Hence, the effect of thermodependency is more pronounced for given ap~ and increasing the shear thinning of the fluid. This result confbrrns to the corrective factor for Nusselt correlation proposed by Mizushina et al [I I], and Joshi and Bergles [12].…”

“…Joshi and Bergles (1980) conducted experimental heat transfer study on HEMC (Cellulose ether powder) solutions, the results of which were tested against several correlating equations. The correlations of Bassett and Welty and Mahalingam et al were found to overestimate the Nusselt number for large values of Graetz numbers.…”

“…Results were presented in terms of detailed parametric relationships. To make the results useful to designers, correlations for Nusselt number, and a pressure drop parameter (friction Joshi and Bergles [106,108,125] analyzed laminarflow heat transfer in circular tubes, with uniform wall heat flux, for non-Newtonian fluids. They compared the results of the analytical study with available correlations.…”
