The convective heat transfer within a pipe of elliptical cross section is extended to the case of a heat-generating fluid. Using the method of successive approximations, the temperature distribution in any section of the pipe is obtained. On the basis of this temperature field, the non-dimensional wall heat transfer coefficient (i. e. , Nusselt number) is obtained as a function of the ellipticity m of the cross section of the pipe, and the dimensionless heat generation number gamma . Sample curves for representative dimensionless temperature distribution along the major diameter of the elliptic section are plotted and are compared with the case of no heat generation.
