THEORETICAL SOLUTION ON HEAT TRANSFER IN OSCILLATORY PIPE FLOW

Starting from the equations of motion of the oscillatory pipe flow, together with the energy equations of the fluid and of the pipe wall, by solving the set of ordinary differentia equations using variable transformation and taking pipe wall effect into account, a general analytical solution of the axial heat transfer of oscillatory flow is obtained. Based upon this analytical solution, formulae for heat transfer in various special cases can be derived, some of which reduce to known analytical results. The...
