Abstract A generalized correlation for combined entry convection in ducts of arbitrary cross section has been developed. The correlation is constructed for the average Nusselt number using knowledge of fully developed transport constants. The general correlation reproduces the first principle solutions for the well-established round and parallel plate duct geometries to within ±5% for both constant temperature and constant heat flux wall conditions when Pr ≥ 0.7. A survey of the literature demonstrates that the new generalized correlation performs as well or better than existing correlations, which are expressed for specific geometries and wall conditions. The new correlation is generally in good agreement with the first principle solutions of less common duct geometries so long as the duct has a convective surface equal to the wetted perimeter. The new correlation is not recommended for ducts having small aspect ratios that pinch the flow when convection is prescribed by the H2 constant heat flux wall condition.

Abstract The asymptotic limit for perimeter averaged convection is generalized for short ducts of arbitrary cross-section. A correction factor to Lévêque's original analysis is derived in terms of the state of wall shear stress under conditions of fully developed flows for walls of constant temperature (T) and constant heat flux (H1 and H2). This analysis is performed for four duct geometries: elliptic, rhombic, rectangular, and regular polygons. The importance of this correction is greatest for the H2 wall condition and for ducts having walls with acute corners. The results of this analysis can be incorporated into a generalized correlation for the full Graetz problem in ducts of arbitrary cross-section.

To bring out details in the fractured surface of a frozen sample in the freeze fracture/freeze-etch technique,the sample or part of it is warmed to enhance water sublimation.One way to do this is to raise the temperature of the entire sample to about -100°C to -90°C. In this case sublimation rates can be calculated by using plots such as Fig.1 (Talmon and Thomas),or by simplified formulae such as that given by Menold and Liittge. To achieve higher rates of sublimation without heating the entire sample a radiative heater can be used (Echlin et al.). In the present paper a simplified method for the calculation of the rates of sublimation under a constant heat flux F [W/m2] at the surface of the sample from a heater placed directly above the sample is described.

Abstract This work is dealing with the temperature reaction and response of skin tissue due to constant surface heat flux. The exact analytical solution has been obtained for the two-temperature dual-phase-lag (TTDPL) of bioheat transfer. We assumed that the skin tissue is subjected to a constant heat flux on the bounding plane of the skin surface. The separation of variables for the governing equations as a finite domain is employed. The transition temperature responses have been obtained and discussed. The results represent that the dual-phase-lag time parameter, heat flux value, and two-temperature parameter have significant effects on the dynamical and conductive temperature increment of the skin tissue. The Two-temperature dual-phase-lag (TTDPL) bioheat transfer model is a successful model to describe the behavior of the thermal wave through the skin tissue.
