Abstract
AbstractAn analysis is performed to obtain an exact solution to the problem of thermal entry region heat transfer in a circular tube with an arbitrary circumferential wall heat flux for pseudoplastic fluids using the power law constitutive model. The solution is expanded in a power series form, with expansion coefficients and related constants obtained numerically. A simple result is presented for a cosine heat flux distribution around the periphery of the tube which illustrates the simultaneous influence of circumferential wall heat flux variation and non‐Newtonian fluid behavior on heat transfer.
