“…The well known Graetz problem of laminar flow heat exchange in a straight tube has been extensively studied and various correlations for the Nusselt number, either theoretical or empirical, are available in the literature for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids (Lyche and Bird, 1956;Jones, 1971;Mahalingam et al, 1975;Richardson, 1979;Weigand and Gassner, 2007). In the case of coiled tubes or corrugated tubes under laminar flow, the development of secondary flows improves fluid mixing and, consequently, heat transfer.…”
