A theory for heat transfer to gases in cylindrical tubes under conditions of turbulent flow and high heat flux is developed. The effects of changes in the physical properties of the gas caused by the high radial temperature gradients are taken into account. Correlations are shown between the bulk Nusselt number, the bulk Reynolds number, the friction and heat transfer, and the ratio wall temperature/bulk temperature, using He as an example. (T.F.H.)
