HEAT TRANSFER TO NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS - AROON S...

This book has been written with the idea of providing the fundamentals for those who are
interested in the field of heat transfer to non-Newtonian uids. It is well recognized that
non-Newtonian fluids are encountered in a number of transport processes and estimation of the
heat transfer characteristics in the presence of these fl uids requires analysis of equations
that are far more complex than those encountered for Newtonian fl uids. A deliberate effort has
be made to demonstrate the methods of simplication of the complex equations and to put forth
analytical expressions for the various heat transfer situations in as vivid manner as possible.
The book covers a broad range of topics from forced  naturaland mixed convection without and
with porous media. Laminaras well as turbulent flow heat transfer to non-Newtonian fluids have
been treated and the criterion for transition from laminar toturbulent fl ow for natural
convection has been established. The heat transfer characteristics of non-Newtonian fl uids
from inelastic power-law fluids to viscoelastic second-order fluids and mildly elastic drag
reducing fl uids are covered. This book can serve the needs of undergraduates  graduates and
industry personnel from the fields of chemical engineering  material science and engineering 
mechanical engineering and polymer engineering.
