Abstract

An analytical solution is developed to describe the unsteady-state heat transfer to a cylindrical cavity with circulating flow induced by a moving wall. The previously derived velocity field at low Reynolds numbers is incorporated into the energy equation, and the case of heat transfer to a fluid segmented by highly conducting plugs flowing in a tube with constant wall temperature is considered. Calculations of temperature distributions, average temperatures, and heat transfer coefficients as functions of time and Péclet number are presented for a specific cavity geometry, and the degree of enhancement in heat transfer caused by the recirculating flow is determined.

The methods developed in this study may be useful in obtaining analytical solutions to a variety of closed-streamline heat and mass transfer problems with known velocity fields.
