Type of article: Article

Summary

Local forced and mixed convective heat-transfer measurements were made in a horizontal-circular straight tube with reentrant, square-edged, and bell-mouth inlets under uniform-wall heat-flux condition. A correlation for prediction of the developing and fully developed forced and mixed-convection heat-transfer coefficients in the transition region for each inlet is recommended. Heat-transfer correlations for the laminar and turbulent regions are proposed for the three inlets.
