Description

A mathematical model is presented for the prediction of heat transfer coefficients for fully developed turbulent flow of fluids in circular pipes by analogy to the transfer of momentum. There is also presented an empirical velocity distribution equation derived from existing experimental data for use in the analogy model. Heat transfer coefficients for fluids with Prandtl numbers ranging from 0.01 to 100 and Reynolds numbers ranging from 5x10^3 to 10^7 are presented in tabular and graphical forms for both the case of constant heat flux at the pipe wall and the case of constant temperature at the pipe wall.

Heat transfer coefficients for fluids with Prandtl numbers ranging from 0.01 to 100 and Reynolds numbers ranging from 5x10^3 to 10^7 are presented in tabular and graphical forms for both the case of constant heat flux at the pipe wall and the case of constant temperature at the pipe wall. The heat transfer coefficients computer in this investigation are compared with existing experimental dat, and a discussion of the parameters affecting the heat transfer characteristics of fluids in turbulent motion in circular pipes is presented.
