ANALYSIS OF TURBULENT HEAT TRANSFER AND FLOW IN THE
ENTRANCE REGIONS OF SMOOTH PASSAGES
4By Robert G. Deissler
SUMMARY
A previous analysis for fully developed turbulent heat transfer andflow with variable fluid properties is extended and applied to theentrance regions of smooth tubes and parallel flat plates. Integralheat-transfer and momentum equations are used for calculating the thick-nesses of the thermal and flow boundary layers. The effect of variableproperties is determined for the case of uniform heat flux, uniforminitial temperature distribution, and fully developed velocity distri-bution. A number of other cases in which the fluid properties are con-
-sidered constant are analyzed. The predicted Nusselt numbers for airwith a uniform wall temperature and uniform initial temperature andvelocity distributions agree closely with experimentally determinedvalues.
INTRODUCTION
Flow and heat transfer in the entrance regions of channels havebeen subjects of considerable interest. The laminar flow case hasbeen analyzed in references 1 (pp. 299-310), 2, and 3 (pp. 451-464),for instance, and the turbulent case, in references 4 and 5. In theseanalyses constant fluid properties were assumed, and uniform walltemperature was postulated in the cases in which heat transfer was con-sidered. In the turbulent flow cases the flow was assumed to be tur-bulent at all points along the passage.
The analysis in reference 4 is for a Prandtl number of 1 and Isbased on an assumed 1/7-power velocity profile and the Blaoius rei:-tance formula. The relative changes in heat-transfer coefficient alongthe tube predicted in that analysis are approximately correct, but theabsolute values of the heat-transfer coefficient at the end of theentrance region are about 20 percent too low. The analysis given inreference 5 is applicable to cases in which the heat transferred byturbulence can be neglected, as might occur at very low Prandtl numbers.

The analysis given herein, which was made at the NACA Lewis labora-tory, is an extension of the analysis given in reference 6 for fullydeveloped heat transfer and flow with variable fluid properties tothe entrance regions of smooth passages. In calculating the growth ofthe thermal and flow boundary layers in the entrance region, integralequations for heat transfer and momentum are used. For obtaining thevelocity and temperature distributions in the bounidary layers, the sameassumptions are made for solving the turbulent transfer equationias were made in reference 6.
U)CD
The flow is assumed to be turbulent at all points along the
passage, as in previous analyses, so that the analysis should be
applicablu when disturbances occurring at the entranco are sufficientto produce a turbulent boundary layer. According to Prandtl's assump-tion, which is in reasonable agreement with experiment, in the presenceof a laminar boundary layer near the entrance, the turbulent portion ofthe boundary layer behaves as th u.Th >e bundary.° layer wero turbulentall the way from the entrance (ref. 7, p. 74). The present calculations
may therefore be applicable to the turbulent portion of the boundarylayer even when a laminar boundary layer exists near the entrance.
The cases considered in the present analysis are given in thefollowing table:

Although most of-the cases in the preceding table are for constant fluidproperties, the greater portion of the report is concerned with thefirst two cases, in which the properties are variable.
ANALYS IS
For calculating hunt transfer and friction in the entrance regionof ducts, the usual boundary layer assumptions are made; that is, it isCOassumed that the effects of heat transfer and friction are confined tofluid layers close to the surface (thermal and flow boundary layers,respectively). The temperature and velocity distributions outside theboundary layers are asounied uniform, and the total temperature and totalpressure are ccnstant along the length of the duct for the region outsidethe boundary layers. More exact analyses (ref. 2) indicate that theseassumptions are valid, even for laminar flow, except in the region at adistance from the entrance where the bzundary layer fills a large portionof the tube. For that region, however, the Nusselt numbers and friction
- factors-have valuus very close to the values for fully developed flow.0
In the following analysis, flow in round tubes and between parallelflat plates will be considered. The effuct of frictional heating will
0 be neglected and then later investigated to some extent in the sectionEffect of frictiLnal heating on entrance length.
Velocity and Temperature Distributions in Boundary Layers for Gases
For obtaining the velocities and temperatures in the flow andthermal boundary layeri, the differential equations for shear stressand heat tranofer can be written as follows:
du du-- + dy
q kdt PCpg dtdy - ceh dy
(The symbols used in this report are defined in appendix A.) In thepreceding equations e and Eh are the eddy diffusivities for momentumand heat transfer, respectively, the values for which are dependent on
the amount and kind-of turbulent mixing at a point. When written indimensionless form, these equations become
_t _ du+ P e du+0 O dy + O 70P d,+U -

and
C 1 P 0 dt5
where the subscript 0 refers to values at the wall.
Assumptions. - The following assumptions are made in the use of theprevious equations for obtaining velocity and temperature distributionsCin the flow and thermal boundary layers:
1. The eddy diffusivities for momentum & and heat transfer chare equal. Previous analyses for fully developed flow in tubes based onthis assumption yielded heat-transfer coefficients and friction factorsthat agree with experiment for Reynolds numbers above 15,000 (ref. 6).At low Reynolds or Peclet numbers (Pe = RexPr), the ratio of eddy
_ diffusivities appears to be a function of P-eclet number_(ref_ 8); butfor Reynolds numbers above 15,000, it is nearly constant for gases, atleast for fully developed boundary layers. The same assumption is madehere for developing boundary layers.
2. The eddy diffusivity & is given by
t = n2uy
in the region close to the wall (y+< 26), and by the Karman relation
X2 (dUjdy)i 22
(d 2u/dy 2 )
in the region at a distance from the wall (y+ >26). These expressionshave been experimentally-verified for fully developed boundary layerswith variable properties in reference 6. It is assumed here that theyapply also to developing boundary layers. The quantities n and x areexperimental constants-having the values 0.109 and 0.36, respectively.
3. The variations across the flow and thermal boundary layers ofthe shear stress r and the heat transfer per unit area q have anegligible effect on the velocity and temperature distributions. It isshown in figure 12 of reference 6 that the assumption of a linear varia-tion of shear stress and heat transfer across the boundary layers(- or q = 0 at the edge of the thermal or flow boundary layer) givesvery nearly the same velocity and temperature profiles as those obtainedby assuming uniform shear stress and heat transfer across the boundary

layers for values of b+ or 5h+ between 500 and 5000.1 For small
values of bh+, such as occur very near the entrance, the effect of
variable heat transfer will be checked in appendix B and in the sectionEffect of variation of heat transfer across boundary layer on Nusseltnumber for small 5h+ and constant fluid properties.
4. The molecular shear stress and heat-transfer terms in theequations can be neglected in the region at a distance from the wall
C(ref. 6, fig. 14).
5. The static pressure can be considered constant across thepassage.
6. The Prandtl number and spucific heat can be considered constantwith temperature variation. The variations with temperature of thespecific heat and Prandtl number of gases are of a lower order of magni-tude than the variations of viscosity, thermal conductivity, anddensity. The variations of viscosity and thermal conductivity withtemperature are assumed to be given by the equations
p/p0-= k/k0 ' (t/to)0 "68
From the definitions of the quantities involved it can be shown that
t/t0 = 1 - Pt +
Solution of equations. - The details of thi solution of the equa-tions for shear stress and heat transfer under the foregoing assumptionsare given in reference 6. The resulting relations between t+ and y+and u+ and y+ are given in figures 1 and 2. Positive values ofcorrespond to heat addition to the gas; negative values, to heatextraction. For the cases in which the fluid properties are consideredconstant, the curves for 0 = 0 are used. 2 The plotted values of t+
and u+ are to be used in the thermal and flow boundary layers, thatis, for values of y+< 5h+ or y+< 6+. For values of y+ greater

The temperature and velocity distributions from figures 1 and 2 canbe used for those quantities except for the region outside the thermalboundary layer. Thu temperature distribution is, of course, uniformoutside the thurmal boundary layer (t+ = tb+). When the velocity distri-
bution in that region is calculated for the case in which the velocitydistribution is fully developed, it should be remembered that theproperties are constant and have the values at bh+. For values ofh+>-, the velocity distribution curves outside the thermal boundary

it does not vary along the length of the tube.

Development of Flow Boundary Layer
Mumentum equations for flow boundary layers. - The momentum equa-tion for the fluid in a given space can be written for steady flow invector notation as
F J (Pv . dA) (27)or the force acting on the fluid in a space is equal to the rate offlow of momentum out of the space (ref. 10, p. 233). When the X com-ponent of equation (27) is written for the previously illustrateddifferential annulus (5h replaced by b), there results
dFX d pu2 2iTr d - u d Pu 2or d (
where the differential of the second integral is the radial mass flowinto the annulus at 5. The force dFX is composed of pressure forces
on planes 1 and 2 and a shear force at the wall. There is no shearforce at 5 because the velocity gradient is, by definition of theboundary layer, zero at the edge of the boundary layer. The force dFX
is then equal to

Dovelopmunt of thermal boundary layer. - Figure 3 illustrates thedevelopment of the temperature profile in a tube for uniform heat fluxand a fully developed velocity profile. The distance along the tubefor various thermal-boundary-layer thic1aiessvo is calculated from equa-tion (4) and the temperature distribution in figure 1. The temperaturedistribution in the thermal boundary layer is obtained from figure 1;the temperature outside the boundary layer is uniform, inasmuch as noheat penetrates that region. The Reynolds numbers are calculated fromequations (11) anid (13). Figure 3 indicates that for a fixed tubediameter at a given dintance from the entrance, the boundary-layerthic1laeso is less for high Reynolds numbers than for low ones, or thedistance required fur a given degree of temperature profile development
is greater for high Reynolds numbers than for low ones.
Although the temperature distributions in figure 3 are for = 0,or constant fluid properties, similar distributions are obtained forvariable fluid properties with large amounts of heat transfer, as maybe inferred from figure 4. The variation of the thermal entrancelength, defined as the length required for the thermal boundary layersfrom the opposite walls to meet at the center of the passage, withReynolds number and heat flux ql' is shown in figure 4. The quantity
qi' was calculated from equation (22). The quantity qi' rather than
is used as a heat-flux parameter inasmuch as it is constant alongthe length of the tube. For the range of qi' shown, to/tb varies
from about 0.4 to 3. Figure 4 indicates that heat flux has but aslight effect on the thermal entrance length.

Local Nusselt numbers for tubes. - Local Nusselt numbers hD/k iwith properties ,valuated at the inlet temperature are plotted againstX/D for various values of Rei and qi' (heat flux) in figure S. The
heat-transfer coefficlnt in the Nussult number is based on the differ-once between wall and bulk temperature (,;uL appendix A). Furobtaining the curves Nusselt numbers wore calculated from equations (10),(2:), and (i1); Remolds numbers, from ,uquations (11), (18), and (19);qi', from equation (22); and X/D, from equation (4) for various values

properties) the Nusselt numbers are constant beyond the entrance length.The Nunselt number; for values of X/D beyond the entrance region werecaiculated by the method described in appendix C. For heat extractionfrom the gas the curves arc cut at the points shown because the walltemperature reaches absolute zero at those points. The portions of thecurves for which the temperature is below the liquefaction temperatureof the gas should, of course, be disregarded because the properties nolonger have the assumed variations with temperature. The increases in
-
INACA TN 3016 21
Nussult number with X/D are caused by the variation of properties alongthe tube and across the tube. The increases are due principally to thevariation of to/tb, which decreases along the tube for both heat addition
to and extraction from the gas.
It is clear from figure 6 that fully developed heat transfer, inthe sense that the heat-transfer coefficient becomes independent of X/D,cannot be obtained when the properties are variable. Fully developed heat
N) transfer can, however, be obtained in the sense that the relation betweenCn the Nussult number and Reynolds number becomes independent of X/D for
sufficiently large values of X/D when the properties are evaluated atthe proper reference tempurature, as shown in figure 7. The curves infigure 7 were obtained by cross-plotting the curves for qij = 0 from
figmre. 4. They can be used for qi' / 0 by evaluating the properties,
including density, in the Nusselt number and Reynolds number at thereference temperatures t. = x(t0 - tb) + tb given in figure 8. The
values of x were computed by selecting values of tx such that the
values of Nux and Reo. calculatud from the curves in figure 5, from
equations (18) to (23), and from the definition of tx , fall on the lines
for q = 3 in figure 7. The curves in figure 8 indicate that the
referenci2 temprature for points close to the entrance is slightlyclostr t:. the bulk temperature than the reference temperature for fullydeveloped heat transfor, although its variation with X/D is not large.
Effect of variation :f heat transfer across boundary layer onNuoselt nuwnber fcr small b,+ and constant fluid properties. - For large
values of bh+ (ro+ for fully developed flow), the effect of the radial
variation of heat transfur on temperature distributions was checked in
reference 2 and found to be small. However, for low values of 8h+,
such as occur very close to the entrance, the flow is nearly laminar,so that the temperature profile in the boundary layer is not flat as it
is for higher values of bh+. The temperature distribution in the
thermal boundary layer for laminar heat transfer from a flat plate canbe closely represented by a cubic parabola (ref. 7, p. 89), which meansth,t the heat transfer per unit area varies as 1 - y/5hC, as shown in
appendix B. This variation of heat transfer is used herein for turbulent
heat transfer for s=all 6 h+ in order to obtain the effect of variation
of q/q0 on the Nusselt numbers in the entrance region. The expression
for the temperature distribution with this variation of q/q0 is obtained
in appendix B.

The variation of Nu with X/D for variable heat transfer perunit area across the boundary layer (q/qo = I - y2/6h 2 ) is shown in fig-ure 9. For comparison, the curves from figure 5(a) for constant heat
transfer (q/qu = 1) are shown by dotted lines. The curves in figure 9
indicate that the variation of heat transfer per unit area across theboundary layer has a negligible effect on the relation between Nusseltnumber and X/D, so that the use of the temperature distributions infigure 1 appears justified, uvn for low values of bh+

Wall and bulk temperature distributions for tubos. - Wall andbulk temperatures alcng a tube with uniform heat transfer as calculatedfrom equations (23) and (24) are plotted in dimensionless form infigure lo. As mentioned previously, the wall and bulk temperatures areequal at the untrance for uniform heat transfur. The bulk temperaturevaries linearly with X/D inasmuch as the specific heat is assumedconstant. For qij = C the wall and bulk temperature curves are
parallel beyond the entrance region. For both heat addition(qi' = C). uc'4) and heat uxtrrction (q 1 ' - .0025) from ti w gas, thewall and bulk temperatture curves convergu buy-.nd the entrance regionbecause of the increase in het-transfor coefficient with X/D forthose portions of th, curves.
Average Nusselt numbers fcr tubes. - The variation of averageNusselt number Nu,av with X/D a,, calculated from equation (25) is
shown in figre 11. The trends are similar to those for local Nusseltnumbers but the changes are mzro gradual.
The relation between Nux,av and Rex,av for various values of
X/D is given in figure 12. The curves were obtained by cross-plottingthe curves fr- qi' I 0 In figure 11(a) and can be used for qi' / 0
by evaluating the properties in the Nusselt number and Reynolds numberat tx,av - x(t0,av - tb,av) + tbav, where x is given in figure 13.
The values of x were computed by selecting values of txav such that
the values of Nux,av and Rex,av calculated as outlined in appendix C
fall on the lines for qi' = 0 in figure 12. Figure 13 indicates that
the value of x increases continuously with X/D for both heat additionto and extraction from the gas. These trends are indicated experimentallyfor heat addition In reference 11 , whore a constant reference temperatureused for a range of values of X/D was found to give average Nusseltnumbers for high heat fluxes at low values of X/D which were slightlyhigher than those for low heat fluxes. The values of x given infigure 13 indicate that for large values of X/D, x> 1, so that for heataddition tx,av is higher than the average wall temperature although
not necessarily higher than the exit wull teraperature. Tfie variationof x with X/D is caused by the variation of properties along thetube. A more satisfactory correlation would perhaps be obtained by
-
NACA TN 3016 23
using x only to account for the variation of properties across thetube and using another factor to account for the variation along thetube. The curves in figures 12'and 13 might, however, provide a con-venient means of utilizing the results of the analysis for some purposes.
Nusselt numbers and teuiperature distributions for flow between flatplates. - Nusselt numbers, wall temperature distributions, and bulk tem-purature distributions for flow between flat plates with uniform heattransfer and fully developed velocity distribution are plotted in
0figures 14 to 16. The curves agree closely with the corresponding curvesfor flow in a tube. For instance, the curves for local Nusselt numbersplotted in figuru 14 are between and 5 percent higher in the fully
developed portions of the curves than the corresponding curves for tubesin figure 5. The portions of the curves close to the entrance agreevon m:ru cluseiy. This agreement indicates that results for turbulent
heat transfer in tubes can be used, with small error, for flat plateswhen an uquivalent diameter equal to twice the plate spacing is used.
It should be L.mphasized that in applying the results of the fore-going analysis the sae assumptions regarding the variation of propertieswith temperature should be made as were made in the analysis, that is,constant specific hat, and viscosity and thermal conductivity bothprop:,rtic:nal to to. 6 8
It should ai.ou be mentioned that the results in this analysis donot include the low Peclet number effect described in reference 8 inas-much as the temperature distributions ir figure 1 do not include thateffect. Thu Nusselt numbers at Rei = 10,UL0 may therefore be slightly
high, but the ratios of local to fully developed Nusselt numbers shouldbe accurate.
Effect of frictional heating on entrance length. - The effect offrictional heating on the X/D for a given 5 h+ can be approximately
accounted for by replacing tb+ and t+ by T8+ and T+, respectively,
in equation (4) and setting P/Po = 1/(l - PT+ _au+2) (ref. 9). Inusing that procedure it is assumed that the total-temperature gradient iszero at the edge of the thermal boundary layer, a good assumption forPrandtl numbers close to unity.
The variation of thermal entrance length (X/D)he with Reynolds
number and heat flux with frictional heating (c = 0.00025) is shownin figure 17. Mach numbers for air at the tube center at (X/D)he are
indicated in the figure. The Mach numbers were calculated from
-
24 NACA TN 3016
which can be obt,,ined from the definitions of M, To, uc , and m. Com-
parison of figure 17 with figure 4 indicates that frictional heatingincrvases thu entrance length, although the increase is not large forsubsonic flow. Innsmuch as Nussolt numbers for fully developed heattransfer are not affected by frictional heating (ref. 9), the effectof frictional heating on the relations between Nusselt number and X/Dprobably is slight when the total rather than the static bulk tempera-ture is used in the dufiniticn of the heat-transfer coefficient.

Relationj am,:ng Nusselt number, Reynolds number, and X/D for thecase of tubes, as calculated from equations (9) to (11), are plotted infigure 18. Cmparls-n of figure 18 with figure 5 indicates that theNussult numbers for unif rm watll temperature are very slightly lowerthan those for uniform heat flux. The heat transfer per unit area q0must be infinite at X/D - C) for uniform wall temperature. This occursonly for an infinitusimal distance dX, however, so that a finite amountDf heat is transferred.

For calculating the variation of Nusselt number with X/D forthis case the flow-boundary-layer thickness as well as the thermal-boundary-layer thickness should be known for various values of X/D.However, in the calculation of Nusselt numbers, it is consideredsufficiently accurate to assume the thicknesses of the thermal andflow boundary layers to be equal, inasmuch as the Prandtl number isclose to unity.
Relations among Nusselt number, Reynolds number, and X/D fortubes, as calculated from equations (10), (42), (40), and (4), areplotted in figure 19. Comparison of figure 19 with figure 5 indicates
-
NACA TN 3016 25
that the Nusselt numburo for a uniform initial velocity distribution are
higher than those for a fully developed velocity distribution. This
result might be expected because of the higher friction in the case of
the uniform initial velocity profile.

The agree-ment of the data given in reference 11 with the empirical relation forvalues of X/D as hig~h as 120 might be due to the use of a constantrather than a variable ref,,rnc temperature as given in figure 13.
Nus ult numbers for flow between flat plates are given in figure 21.Ccmpairisun of figure 21 with figure 19 indicates very close agreementbetween the Nusselt nu=bri for tubes and flat plates.

The variatin of Nusselt number with X/D for this case is givenin figuro 22. The curveii agree closely with those for the corres-ponding case for uniform htat flux given in figure 19. The Nusseltnumbers for uniform wall temperature are slightly lower than those foruniform heat flux.
A comparisr:-n between analytical and experimental results for uni-form wall temperature and uniform initial velocity and temperature dis-tributions is given in figure 23. The experimental curves representdata from reference. 12 for air flowing in a tube at uniform temperaturewith a bellmouth entrance and a screen at the entrance and should repre-sent the case analyzed in this section. The screen at the entranceshould insure a turbulent boundary layer throughout the tube. Thefigure shows that the agreement between analytical and experimentalresults for this case is very good.
The lack of a comparison of the present analytical results for auniform wall temperature and a fully developed velocity distributionwith the data from reference 12, which were taken with a long approachsection at the entrance, should perhaps be explained. It appears thatthe sharp edge at the beginning of the long approach section produced
-
26 NACA TN 3016
large disturbances which were not damped out in the length of approachsection used. The data in reference 12 for heat-transfer coefficientswith a sharp entrance without an approach section indicate such results.For that case the heat-transfer coefficients are higher throughout thetube than those obtained with a bellmouth entrance.
Average Nusselt numbers calculated from equation (25) are plottedin figure 24. As in the case of local Nusselt numbers, the averageNusselt numbers for a unifrm wall temperature in figure 24 are slightlylower than those for a uniform heat flux in figure 20.

Temperature distributions for fully developed flow calculated asdescribed in reference 8 and plotted in figure 25 were used in thethermal boundary layer for calculating the variation of Nusselt numberwith X/D for liquid metals. The velocity distributions were obtainedfr,-m the curve for 0 K i-i in figure 2. The curves for Nu against:/D in figure 26 wore calculated from equations (4) and (10) to (12)
= = o). An unuCxpected feature of these curves is the slight increaseof Nusselt number with X/D at large values of X/D and Reynolds num-ber. This increase is duo to the change in shape of the temperatureprcfile with bh+ for low Prandtl numbers. Thus, as 5h+ increases,
the tempurature gradient at the wall incre%ses slightly in someinstances because of the added turbulence in the boundary layer athighor values of bh+. This effect is indicated experimentally by
the data in reference 1.
A plot of Nusselt number against Pe/(X/D) for various Pecletnumbers is given in figure 27. If the heat transfer contributed byeddy diffusion were neglected, the curves for various Reynolds numberswould fall essentially on a single line as in reference 5. Examinationof the curves in figure 27 indicates that for Reynolds numbers below1O0 the curves could be represented approximately by a single line.This line is slightly higher than the one obtained in reference 5 inas-much as a uniform wall temperature rather than a uniform heat flux waepostulated in that reference.

Friction Factors with Uniform Initial Velocity Distribution
and Constant Fluid Properties
Throe friction factors aru discussed in this section: fr, basedon the shear stress at the wall; f, based on the static-pressure gradient;and f..' based on the pressure drop along the tube. The friction factor
f, is calculatud from uquation (5,); f, f-ot-un equation (50); and fav
from equation (48). The Reynolds numbur:. at1i va±ues of X/D corres-ponding to thesu friction factors are ca.o.u.r,', a frcim equations (41) and(36). The velocity distribution3 in the fjoA IrTundiry layer areobtained from the curve for 0 z 0 in figure 2.
The fricticn fact,_rs for a tube based on the shear ztress at thewall and on the static preoouru gradient are plotted in figures 28 and
- respectively. Th,, friction factcr ' based on the pressure gradientare hi;,Ihur than thus,_- based on the shear stress in the entrance regionbecausZ! the former includo the pressure decrease caused by the increasein momentum of the fluid as thu velocity profile develops as well as

Thu results presented should,however, be weil within the limits of accuracy of experimentally deter-mined friction factors.
Friction factors for flow between flat plates are plotted infigures 31 to and are found to be very similar to those for a tube.
Comparison of Lcal Nusselt Numbers and Friction Factors
A comparison of local Nusselt numbers and friction factors forvarious cases is presented in figure 74, where the ratio of localNusselt number or friction factor to the fully developed value isplotted against X/D for a Reynolds number of 100,000. The quantityNu/Nud is smaller than f/fd for a given X/D in all cases except
that of heat transfer to a liquid metal (Pr = 0.01). The larger valuesof Nu/Nud for a liquid metal are apparently caused by the fact that
the temperature profile at low Prandtl numbers is similar to that for
'liz

NACA TN 3016
laminar flow. At vry high Reynolds numbers, where the dip occurs inthe curves for Nusselt number plotted against X/D, and at very lowReynolds numbers, the values of Nu/Nud may be lower than f/fd for
liquid metals (fig. £9). For gases the values of Nu/Nud are lower
than f/fd for a given value of X/D because of the momentum pressureloss for velocit:, profile development included in the friction factorf; there is no countenrpart for this momentum pressure loss in heattransfer.
It should be mentioned that thu preceding conclusions may applyonly to the case analyzed, that is, to thu case where the boundary layer CQ
ip turbulent throughout the tube. The turbulent boundary layer might beproduced by a bollmouth with a strip of sand paper at the entrance orby screens. For flow in which the boundary layer is partially laminar,or for which there are large disturbancen at the entrance, such as mightbe causvd by a right-angle-edge entrance, the conclusions might bealtered.
SU IARY OF RESULTS
The following results were obtained from the analytical investiga-tion of the entrance region for turbulunt heat transfer and flow insmooth tubes and botweun. parallel flat plates:
1. The thin thurmal boundary layers and consequently severe tem-perature grudionts at the wall near the entrance produced high heattransfer near the entrance. Approximately fully developed heat transferwas, in general, attained in an entranco length less than 10 diameters.
2. The effect of variable properties on the local Nusselt numbercorrelation for gases with fully developed velocity profiles was todecrease the Nusselt .number with conductivity based on the inlet tem-perature for he't addition to the gas and to increase it for heatextraction from thu gas at a given ratio of distance from the entranceto tube diameter X/D and inlet Reynolds number. For large values ofX/D, the Nusselt number with conductivity based on the inlet temperatureincreased continuously with X/D for both heat addition to and extrac-tion from the gas. A heat-transfer coefficient which is independent ofX/D is therefore not obtained for heat transfer with variable properties,even in the fully developed region.
3. The reference temperature used for evaluating the propertiesin order to eliminate the effect of heat flux on the curves for localNusselt number against Reynolds number at various values of X/D variedonly slightly with X/D. The reference temperature for average Nusseltnumbers, however, increased continuously with X/D for heat additionto the gas and was higher than the average wall temperature but lower
than the exit wall temperature at very large values of X/D.

ANALYSIS INCLUDING EFFECT OF VARIATION OF HEAT TRANSFER
ACROSS BOUNDARY LAYER FOR SMALL bh+ WITH
CONSTANT FLUID PROPERTIES
LO)
As was mentioned in the section Effect of variation of heat transfer u0across boundary layer on Nusselt number for small bh+ and constant
fluid properties, the effect of variation of q/q0 across the boundary
layer for small 5h+ should be checked. For laminar flow over a flat
plate the temperature distribution in the thermal boundary layer can beclosely approximated by a cubic parabola. For a cubic parabola,q/q0 = 1 - y 2/h
2 as shown in the following:
For laminar flow,
q = - k dt/dy = q0 (l - y2/bh2) (Cl)
Integration of equation (Cl) gives
k (tio t) (C2)55h 2 =
Evaluation of equation (C2) at the edge of the boundary layer gives
(tu - t6) I (C3)
Combination of equations (C2) and (03) results in
tO -t 3 v 3 (04)tO -b t 6- h (6]5
which is the same as the equation on page 89 in reference 7. The
assumption that q/q0 = a - y2/5h2 therefore leads to a cubic parabola
for the temperature distribution for laminar flow. The same assumption
is used herein for turbulent flow for small h The equation for
turbulent heat transfer can be written
-
NACA TN 3016 37
q - (k + Cp g Pe) dt/dy (Cs)
With the assumption for q/qo and e = n2uy for flow close to the wall
C (ref. 6), equation (C5) becomes, in dimensionless form,
1 -+2 + n2u+y dt 06)h+2 67+r dy+
where t+ ' represents the temperature distribution with
q/qo = - Y+2/bh+2 as distinguished from t+ , which is the dimensionless
temperature parameter for q/qO = 1. Separation of variables and
integration of equation (C6) result in
t+V y dy + i .. y+2 dy +(C-~--- - ~(07)
1 + nu+y+ 5h+2 1 + n2u+y +
-0 Pr h 0 Pr
The first term on the right side of equation (07) is t+ for constantproperties (ref. 6), so that
t+ = t+ Y+dySh+2 1 + n2u+ ()h f
The values of t+ are obtained from figure 1. For obtaining theNusselt numbers the values of t+ ' from equation (CB) are used in
- equations (12) and (4) in pluc'e of t+ .

CALCULATION OF NUSSELT NUMBERS, REYNOLDS NUMBERS, AND TEMPERATURE
DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FLOW BEYOND ENTRANCE REGION
For points beyond the entrance region the relation between Nusseltnumber and Reynolds number with the properties, including density,evaluated at the reference temperature tx = x(t 0 - tb) + tb, where -x = 0.4 for heat addition and 0.6 for heat extraction from the gas,can be obtained from the curve for fully developed flow in figure 7.From equations (18) to (21) and the definition of tx it can be shown
that
Rex =Re ixt ) d+l d (Bl)
and
Nu Nu . tb t0 ] d+
NUi-Nx )+1(B2)
where d = 0.68 for air and most other gases. The value of Nui for
a given value of Rai can be obtained from equations (Bl) and (B2)
provided the values of tb/ti and to/tb are known. The quantities
tb/ti and to/tb can be written in terms of the quantities plotted in
figure 10 as
tb t - 1 Xt= qi ; i + 1 =4 + 1(B3)
(see eq. (23)) and
to q1 t- T -7 + 1
tb tbti) l7_
In the procedure for obtaining the value of t0/tb, the quantity in
brackets in the numerator is first determined by extrapolating a known
-
NACA TN 3016 39
curve for that quantity plotted against X/D. The value of Nui canthen be obtained from equation (B2). With that value of Nui a new and
more accurate value of [(to-ti)/ti 11 can be calculated from equa-tion (24). The calculation of Nui can then be repeated using the new
value of
~[(to-ti)/ti] 1ilcoi
Cn
Average Nusselt numbers with the conductivity evaluated at theinlet temperature Nuiav can be calculated from equation (25), where
the values of Nui are calculated as outlined previously. It is
desirable to calculate average Nusselt numbers and Reynolds numbers withproperties :valuated at the average bulk or the average wall temperaturefor given values of X/D. The average bulk temperature rise for a givenX/D is one-half the temperature rise at X/D, since the specific heatis assumed constant. Therefore,
tbav - t i 1 (tb t l-,
oror tb~av qi' ~b - ti-) l .
t i 2 t} j+i (B5)
From the definitions of hay, Nui,av, Rei, and Pr, it can be shown that
to, tbav q1 ' Rei P (B6)
t t + Nuiav
Average Nusselt numbers and Reynolds numbers with properties evaluatedat tbav) toav, or any arbitrary temperature
txav x(t - tbav) + tb~av
can be calculated by use of equations (B5) and (B6).
