Temperature Distribution in Internally Heated Walls of Heat Exchangers with Noncircular Flow Passages Using Coolants with Very Low Prandtl Number

Abstract

In the walls of heat exchangers that are composed of noncircular passages, the temperature varies in a circumferential direction. A prediction of the magnitude of this variation is necessary in order to detect the places of highest temperature and to determine the operating temperatures admissible for the material of which the heat exchanger is composed.
