The analysis was based on a two parameter representation of the thermal conductivity-shear rate dependence, in accordance with experimental observations from the experimental studies. When the results are expressed in terms of Nusselt numbers based on the thermal conductivity at the wall, corresponding to the wall shear rate, they are found to be independent of k(,w)/k(,o) (ratio of conductivity at the wall to the unenhanced conductivity), and k(,w)/k(,o) greater than two. Thus for all cases when significant enhancement in conductivity is present the heat transfer results can be represented in two curves, one for uniform wall temperature and the other for uniform wall heat flux. The obtained solutions are applicable to a thermally developing region as well as a fully developed flow, with uniform wall temperature and heat flux boundary conditions. The significant increase in Nusselt number (heat transfer), for all the cases studied, implies a potential augmentation in heat transfer by employing a suspension as a heat transfer medium.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-13T19:55:36Z (GMT).
