Extract

Solutions for the temperature distribution in a circular pipe have been given by various authors, notably Gretz, Nusselt, Goldstein; all these are cited in (1), section 266. I have already considered in one paper the temperature distribution in a circular pipe when viscous incompressible fluid is flowing through the pipe and rate of heat addition is an oscillatory function of time. In this paper expressions for the temperature distributions are derived when viscous incompressible fluid is flowing through the channel, the dissipation due to friction is neglected and the rate of heat addition is an exponential function of time. From the engineering point of view this situation has some importance.
