Description: CRREL Report
Abstract: Heat transfer in turbulent flow was measured in a rectangular channel with a width of 0.254 m and a flow depth of 0.0254 m. Correlations between the Nusselt and Reynolds numbers are given for a range of 3.02 x 10(3) < Re < 2.236 x 10(4) . A Prandtl number range of 9.90 < Pr < 12.28 for water was used in the tests. The results are compared with those of other investigations and show that some well-known correlations underpredict the heat transfer by about 35%. Note: Numerals in brackets ( ) are exponents.
