摘要
Forced convection heat transfer to hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed laminar flow of power-law non-Newtonian fluid in rectangular ducts has been studied for the H1 and T thermal boundary conditions. The solutions for the velocity and temperature fields were obtained numerically using the finite element method with quartic triangular elements. From these solutions, very accurate Nusselt number values were determined. Computations were performed over a range of power-law indices and duct aspect ratios.
