Heat Transfer for Laminar Flow in Spiral Ducts of Rectangular Cross Section

Laminar flow and heat transfer in three-dimensional spiral ducts of rectangular cross section with aspect ratios of 1, 4, and 8 were determined by making use of the FLUENT computational fluid dynamics program The peripherally averaged Nusselt number is presented as a function of distance from the inlet and of the Dean number
