Heat transfer to non-Newtonian fluids in laminar flow through rectangular ducts

TL;DR: In this article, a finite volume technique is used to solve the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy of non-newtonian fluids flowing laminarly through rectangular ducts, where the viscoelastic behavior of the fluid is represented by the Criminale-Ericksen-Filbey (CEF) constitutive equation.

A numerical study of viscous dissipation effect on non-Newtonian fluid flow inside elliptical duct

TL;DR: In this article, the Nusselt number has a fixed asymptotic value independent of Brinkman number (Br) and aspect ratio for a non-Newtonian fluid described by the power law model.

Three-dimensional heat transfer in a channel with a baffle in the entrance region

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation of laminar forced convection was performed in a three-dimensional channel with a baffle in the entrance region, where the top and bottom walls were subjected to a uniform heat flux heating condition.

Optimization of forced convection heat sinks with pumping power requirements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the optimization of a heat sink formed by parallel circular or non-circular ducts in a finite volume, where the flow is considered to be laminar and steady and the fluid properties are assumed to be constant.

Enhancing heat transfer at the micro-scale using elastic turbulence

TL;DR: In this paper, small concentrations of a high-molecular-weight polymer have been used to create so-called "elastic turbulence" in a micro-scale serpentine channel geometry.

Laminar Flow Forced Convection Heat Transfer and Flow Friction in Straight and Curved Ducts - A Summary of Analytical Solutions

TL;DR: Theoretical laminar flow solutions for heat transfer and flow friction are of importance in the development of compact heat exchangers as discussed by the authors, generally the higher the degree of compactness, the lower is the Reynolds number and the greater is the relevance of the theory solutions.

Simultaneous development of velocity and temperature profiles for laminar flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in the entrance region of flat ducts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the momentum and energy integral method of von Karman and Pohlhausen to solve the entrance heat transfer problem for a non-Newtonian fluid in a flat duct.
