This paper explores the bearing that a non-uniform distribution of heat flux used as a wall
boundary condition exerts on the heat transfer improvement in a round pipe. Because the …

When the total amount of thermal energy is fixed in a device, it is important to keep the
highest temperatures (hot spots) of the device at the minimum level. The present paper …
