Abstract

Heat transfer in noncircular ducts is an important factor in the design of compact heat exchangers. A Galerkin-based integral method is presently used to conduct the requisite computations. The fully developed velocity distribution is obtained independent of the energy equation, because the physical properties do not depend on temperature. More accurate results may be obtained for right-triangular ducts with small included angle from the isosceles triangular duct solution. 5 refs.
