ABSTRACT
This chapter presents many more results for flow and for heat transfer and compares them with experimental data. Suhas V. Patankar, S. Ramadhyani, and E. M. Sparrow have carried out a computational study of the fully developed laminar flow and heat transfer in a horizontal tube that is subjected to nonuniform circumferential heating. The chapter aims to give the reader a feel for some applications and then leave the rest to the imagination. Since only a few applications would serve this purpose, it was convenient to choose them from the problems solved by the author and his co-workers. The chapter shows the comparison of the predicted values of the Nusselt number and the friction factor with experimental data. The nonuniform heating gives rise to a buoyancy-induced secondary flow, which leads to significantly higher Nusselt numbers than those for pure forced convection. The chapter summarizes the computational investigation of a hypermixing-jet ejector reported by A. D. DeJoode and Patankar.
