Abstract
Theoretical Nusselt numbers have been derived for the cases of heat transfer to liquid metals flowing past a single sphere, and past an elliptical rod (solitary or one inside a bundle of elliptical rods). The analyses are based on the usual assumptions associated with in viscid potential flow [6, 9]. The normalized hydrodynamic potential drop, Φ 1( a + b) Which appears in the expression for the Nusselt number for elliptical-rod bundles was analytically evaluated using the mathematical function of Howland and McMullen [8] and by applying the principles of conformai transformation. It was found that the numerical values of the corresponding parameter, Φ 1/ D, for flow through circular-rod bundles were applicable here, provided that certain changes in notation were made.
