Abstract

The effects of the rotating inner and outer tube on the turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in a concentric annulus are examined experimentally and by analysis. In the experimental investigations the heat transfer rate in the hydrodynamic and thermal entrance region of the rotating annulus and the velocity and temperature profiles at the end of the test section were determined. The analytical study was performed for flow and heat transfer of a fully developed turbulent flow in a rotating annulus by applying a modified mixing length theory. To express increase or suppression of turbulence, due to the centrifugal forces in the fluid caused by tube rotation, the mixing length was modified by a function of the Richardson number. The theoretical results for fully developed flow are compared with the experimental findings at the axial position of 60 hydraulic diameters downstream of the entrance.
