Simultaneously developing laminar convection in rotating isothermal square channels

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical analysis is conducted on laminar forced convection in the entrance region of an isothermal square duct rotating about an axis perpendicular to the duct axis, where three independent parameters are introduced: Prandtl number (Pr), a combined Reynolds and rotational Reynolds number (Re ReΩ), and Rossby number (Ro).

Numerical simulation of heat transfer in simultaneously developing flows in parallel rectangular ducts

TL;DR: In this paper, a parallel flow heat exchanger is numerically simulated to determine the impact of different parameters on the performance and the accuracy of constant heat transfer coefficient assumption, and it is shown that there is significant change in the overall heat transfer coefficients in the developing region and that the three-dimensional heat transfer in the heat exchange wall must be included in the analysis.

Graetz problem with non-linear viscoelastic fluids in non-circular tubes

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical investigation of the Graetz problem in straight pipes of circular and non-circular cross-sections is carried out to analyze the influence of the rheological parameters on the heat transfer enhancement with negligible axial heat conduction and viscous dissipation for a class of non-linear viscoelastic fluids constitutively represented by the simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner (SPPT) model.

A numerical study of laminar heat convection in ducts of irregular cross-sections

TL;DR: Forced convective heat transfer during hydrodynamically fully developed laminar fluid flow inside ducts of irregular cross section is analyzed utilizing numerical methods in this paper, where the elliptic grid generation technique is used to transform the partial differential equations of an arbitrary and irregular physical plane from the physical domain into a square shaped computational domain.

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.
