This paper reviews the technology of melt vibration (more specifically at low frequency) to
reduce viscosity during processing of plastics and to enhance mechanical performance of …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of the analytical and experimental
hydrodynamics and heat transfer studies of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in laminar …

Polymers are effective drag reducers owing to their ability to suppress the formation of
turbulent eddies at low concentrations. Existing drag reduction methods can be generally …

Thermal management has traditionally been relegated to the last step in the design process.
However, with the exponential growth in data traffic leading to ever-greater levels of …

The measured local and mean Nusselt numbers for a viscoelastic fluid in laminar flow
through a rectangular channel are found to be much higher than those of a purely viscous …

Heat transfer to non-newtonian fluids flowing laminarly through rectangular ducts is
examined. The conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy are solved …

The fascinating friction drag and heat transfer reduction phenomena associated with
turbulent flows of so-called 'drag-reducing fluids' are not well understood. It is believed that …

Numerical studies are reported for the fully developed heat transfer behavior of elastic non-
Newtonian fluids in steady laminar flow through rectangular ducts. The Reiner-Rivlin …

The paper presents the results of experimental research on heat transfer of ice slurry during
its flow through tubes of circular, rectangular and slit cross-sections. Moreover, the work …
