Heat transfer of combined free and forced convection in circular and sector tubes

Applied Scientific Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The heat transfer problems of combined free and forced convection by a fully developed laminar flow in a vertical tube and a vertical sector channel of linear axial wall temperature gradient with and without heat generation are treated. By means of a complex function the coupled momentum and energy equations are combined in the form of a wave equation in the complex domain. Exact solutions are then established in terms of Bessel and associated functions. Some numerical calculations and discussions are also included.
