abstract

  • In this paper, the total energy gain by conduction for a concentric circular annulus with uniform wall temperature gradient and heat generation is calculated analytically for various boundary conditions. The equations for viscous laminar flow in a circular annulus is first developed for an incompressible, constant property fluid where the velocity profile is fully developed. The results are used in the energy equation to determine the temperature field for the case with uniform heat generation. In turn, the results for the heat fluxes from the outer and the inner tubes are determined for all physically interesting and important cases and are presented in analytical closed form.
