Analytical approximations are developed to predict the effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on convective heat transfer through liquids in fully developed turbulent pipe flow. The analysis expresses the heat transfer coefficient ratio for variable to constant viscosity in terms of the friction factor ratio for variable to constant viscosity, Tw, Tb, and a fluid viscosity-temperature parameter β. The results are independent of any particular eddy diffusivity distribution. The formulas developed here represent an analytical approximation to the model developed by Goldmann. These approximations are in good agreement with numerical solutions of the model nonlinear differential equation. To compare the results of these calculations with experimental data, a knowledge of the effect of variable viscosity on the friction factor is required. When available correlations for the friction factor are used, the results given here are seen to agree well with experimental heat transfer coefficients over a considerable range of μw/μb.

Consideration is given to a laminar pipe flow in which the upstream portion of the wall is externally insulated while the downstream portion of the wall is uniformly heated. An analysis of the problem is performed whose special feature is the accounting of axial conduction in both the tube wall and in the fluid. This conjugate heat transfer problem is governed by two dimensionless groups—a wall conductance parameter and the Peclet number, the latter being assigned values from 5 to 50. From numerical solutions, it was found that axial conduction in the wall can carry substantial amounts of heat upstream into the non directly heated portion of the tube. This results in a preheating of both the wall and the fluid in the upstream region, with the zone of preheating extending back as far as twenty radii. The preheating effect is carried downstream with the fluid, raising temperatures all along the tube. The local Nusselt number exhibits fully developed values in the upstream (non directly heated) region as well as in the downstream (directly heated) region. Of the two effects, wall axial conduction can readily overwhelm fluid axial conduction.
