Focussing on turbulent heat transfer at large temperature differences, this book offers solidly researched data on local heat transfer and drag in gas-cooled annuli over wide ranges of Reynolds number and temperatures. Highlights include velocity and temperature fields in the entrance region of an annulus, and the effects of free-stream turbulence on heat transfer and drag. Topics considered include experimental techniques, velocity and temperature distributions in the boundary layer of a cylinder in axial flow, skin friction of a cylinder in axial flow, heat transfer in the entrance region of an annulus, heat transfer of annuli under fully developed flow conditions, heat transfer and hydraulic drag in an annulus with a helically twisted inner tube, conclusions, and practical recommendations.
