abstract

  • Convective heat transfer for steady laminar flow between two concentric circular pipes with walls heated andlor cooled independently and subjected to uniform heat generation is presented in analytical closed form utilizing the linearized Navier- Stokes and energy equations. The flow field is hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. The effect of heat generation is depicted in Fig. 1 where the ratio of the Nusselt number with heat generation to without heat generation is plotted against the radius ratio, the core size w. It is seen that heat generation may have positive as well as negative effect on the Nusselt number. © 1985 by ASME.
