Numerical investigation into the heat transfer during the flow of a helium–xenon gas mixture in a heated tube has been performed in a wide range of Reynolds numbers and values of the heat fluxes into the tube wall with the differential turbulence model. A comparison has been made of the obtained calculation results and experimental data and the integral and local characteristics of the flow and heat transfer have been analyzed.
