Abstract

Turbulent convective heat-transfer characteristics in a concentric annular channel with both walls heated are theoretically modeled and numerically computed in this article. Generalized algebraic predictive models and equations for heating over a single wall are first reviewed by summarizing the well-known methods in the literature. These methods are then scrutinized according to the most recent investigations such that new viewpoints and corrections are introduced accordingly. Moreover, the application of superposition in temperature is used in the current work instead of the Nusselt number as seen in the literature. The numerical integration method is applied to the generalized equations to obtain the solutions, which are found to be in decent agreement with the direct numerical simulation (DNS) data in the literature. The results in this work also indicate that the wall heat flux density ratio and the annular radius ratio are two key factors that have a great influence on the heat-transfer characteristics of the case with both walls heated.
