Show that for fully developed laminar flow between two flat plates spaced 2a apart, the Nusselt number based on the ‘bulk mean’ temperature and the passage spacing is 4.12 if the temperature of both walls varies linearly with the distance x, i.e., ?T/?x = C. The ‘bulk mean’ temperature is defined as but assume that one wall is insulated while the temperature of the other walls increases linearly with x.
GIVEN
• Fully developed laminar flow between two flat plates
• Spacing = 2a & ?T/?x = C
• Bulk mean temperature as defined above
• One wall is insulated
• The temperature of the other wall increases linearly with x
FIND
• The Nusselt number based on the bulk mean temperature (Nu)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state
• Constant and uniform property values
• Fluid temperature varies linearly with x (This corresponds to a constant heat flux boundary)
