2-D CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER IN FLUIDS WITH AN ARBITRARY FULLY-DEVELOPED VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION
Abstrakt
An analytical method based on eigenfunctions
expansions is developed for solving the steady
state two-dimensional conjugate heat transfer in
either a parallel-plate or circular duct flow of
non-Newtonian Fluids. The flow is hydrodynamically
fully-developed, but thermally developing.
The solid and fluid domains are regarded
as a single region with discontinuities. A special
orthogonality theorem is used for discontinuous
eigenfunctions, which stem from this approach.
The present solution method can be applied to
the general case that involves an arbitrary number
of fluids and solids in an arbitrary configuration,
where the fluids may have a general form
of the velocity distribution.
