Heat transfer in turbulent non-Newtonian flow

Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of non-Newtonian Prandtl number on the distribution of resistance to heat transfer is examined. Two new analogies between heat and momentum transfer are developed, one of which is shown, by comparison with experiment, to be superior to another more complex and recently published analogy-type expression. It is concluded that more accurate information is needed on conditions near the wall before reliable characterization of heat transfer can be made in such systems.
