Convective heat transfer for steady laminar flow between two concentric circular pipes with walls heated and/or cooled independently and subjected to uniform heat generation is presented in analytical closed form utilizing the linearized Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The flow field is hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. The effect of heat generation is depicted in Fig. 1 where the ratio of the Nusselt number with heat generation to without heat generation is plotted against the radius ratio, the core size ω. It is seen that heat generation may have positive as well as negative effect on the Nusselt number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
