Abstract

Fully developed mixed convection flow in a loosely curved annulus is examined. Analytic solutions in power series form, where the radius ratio is properly taken into account, are derived. It is found that the power series solution is in good agreement with the numerical solution. It is also illustrated that the dimensionless numbers based on hydraulic radius are adequate to characterize the inclination of the secondary flow cells.
