The problem considered is the determination of the heat transfer in fully developed turbulent flow of a radiating optically thin gas in a circular tube. The radiation problem is formulated in terms of the Planck mean and the modified Planck mean coefficients and the temperature profiles and Nusselt numbers have been determined. It is shown that the simple constant shear, constant heat flux formulation yields results that are in very good agreement with more complex calculations.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the pulsation flow through a rectangular air duct with aspect ratio of 10. The test section was designed to have a constant heat flux. For pulsating flows, the surface temperatures, the temperature of air at the inlet and at the outlet of the test section, maximum velocity and minimum velocity of air in the test section and the frequencies of pulsation flow were measured and averaged local Nusselt numbers and averaged Nusselt numbers were calculated. The effect of pulsation amplitudes and pulsation frequencies on heat transfer were analyzed.

Numerical solutions for two-dimensional, steady, free convection are presented for a rectangular cavity with constant heat flux on one vertical wall, the other vertical wall being isothermally cooled. The horizontal walls are insulated. Results are presented in terms of streamlines and isotherms, local and average Nusselt numbers at the heated wall, and the local heat flux at the cooled wall. Flow patterns are observed to be quite different from those in the case of a cavity with both vertical walls at constant temperatures. Specifically, symmetry in the flow field is absent and any increase in applied heat flux is not accompanied by linearly proportional increase in the temperature on the heated wall. Also, for low Prandtl number, the heat transfer rate based upon the mean temperature difference is higher as compared to experimental results for the isothermal case. Heat transfer results, further, indicate that the average Nusselt number is correlated by a relation of the form Nu = constant Ra*mAn, where Ra* is the Rayleigh number and A the height-to-width ratio of the cavity.
