Entropy generation for a fully developed laminar viscous flow in a duct subjected to constant wall temperature is investigated analytically. The temperature dependence on the viscosity is taken into consideration in the analysis. The ratio of the pumping power to the total heat flux decreases considerably and the entropy generation increases along the duct length for viscous fluids. The variation of total exergy loss due to both the entropy generation and the pumping process is studied along the duct length as well as varying the fluid inlet temperature for fixed duct length. For low heat transfer conditions the entropy generation due to viscous friction becomes dominant and the dependence of viscosity with the temperature becomes essentially important to be considered in order to determine the entropy generation accurately.

Cylindrical Duct

A second-law analysis is made on a swirling flow in a cylindrical duct with constant wall temperature. A purely tangential entry of the fluid is considered and a simplified model, consisting of a central air core enclosed by a potential, free vortex region and a boundary layer, is assumed. The approximate hydrodynamic boundary layer equations, and the continuity equation, are set up and solved numerically for the velocity gradients in the boundary layer. Similarly, the temperature gradients within the thermal boundary layer are obtained from the energy equation. The local Nusselt number and rate of entropy generation are calculated and used to evaluate the rate of heat transfer and loss of available energy, respectively. A merit function, defined as the ratio of exergy transferred to the sum of exergy transferred and exergy destroyed, is evaluated for various values of Reynolds number, based on the inlet tangential velocity, and conclusions are drawn about the influence of inlet swirl on irreversibility.

Turbulent Gas Flow

This paper describes experimental results on total temperature measurement to obtain heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flow in a microtube with constant wall temperature. The experiments were performed for nitrogen gas flow through a microtube of 354 μm in diameter with 100 mm in length. The wall temperature was maintained at 310 K, 330 K, and 350 K by circulating water around the microtube, respectively. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the exit Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 1.0. In order to obtain heat transfer rate of turbulent gas flow through a micro-tube, the total temperatures of gas flowing out of a microtube exit were measured with the set of total temperature measurement attached to micro stage with position fine adjustment. The numerical computations based on the Arbitrary - Langrangian - Eulerian (ALE) method were also performed for the turbulent gas flow with the same conditions of the experiments. The results were in excellent agreement.
