Heat transport in the practical range of fluxes (/approximately/1 W/cm/sup 2/) obeys the nonlinear Gorter-Mellink relation /rvec q/ = -K(/del/T)/sup 1/3/. In this paper, we study steady-state Gorter- Mellink heat transport through a plane duct of nonuniform cross section and transverse to a bank of parallel tubes with adiabatic surfaces ranged in either a square or triangular lattice. Both problems are solved by the method of complementary variational principles. 5 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
