An inverse solution scheme based on the conjugate gradient method with the minimization of the object function is presented for estimating the unknown wall heat flux of conjugated forced convection flows between two corotating disks from temperature measurements acquired within the flow field. The validity of the proposed approach is demonstrated via the estimation of three time- and space-dependent heat flux profiles. A good agreement is observed between the estimated results and the exact solution in every case. In general, the accuracy of the estimated results is found to improve as the temperature sensors are moved closer to the unknown boundary surface and the error in the measured temperature data is reduced.

Constant Wall Heat Flux

Forced convection heat transfer in fully developed laminar flow in transversely corrugated tubes is investigated for nonuniform but constant wall heat flux as well as for constant wall temperature. Epitrochoid conformal mapping is used to map the flow domain onto the unit circle in the computational domain. The governing equations are solved in the computational domain analytically. An exact analytical solution for the temperature field is derived together with closed form expressions for bulk temperature and Nusselt number for the case of the constant heat flux at the wall. A variable coefficient Helmholtz eigenvalue problem governs the case of the constant wall temperature. A novel semi-analytical solution based on the spectral Galerkin method is introduced to solve the Helmholtz equation. The solution in both constant wall heat flux and constant wall temperature case is shown to collapse onto the well-known results for the circular straight tube for zero waviness.
