ABSTRACT
There are many types of internal forced convection. This chapter examines selected examples. Flows with heat transfer between parallel plates and flows in pipes, tubes and ducts are considered.
8.1 Couette Flow Upper plate moving
1 Lower plate stationary
Figure 8.1 Couette Flow
Couette flow is the model for flow between parallel plates. The plates are separated by a distance L, and filled with a fluid with density p, viscosity (j. and thermal conductivity k, Fig. 8.1. The upper plate moves at a constant velocity u\ and causes the fluid particles to move in the direction parallel to the plates. The upper and lower plates are kept at uniform temperatures TI and T0 respectively.
