Notes:
Turbulent and transitional flow heat transfer correlations for non-Newtonian fluids are presented. By means of an extension of the Reichardt-Metzner-Friend correlation to nonisothermal flow, and a new definition of Prandtl number to account for deviations from Newtonian behavior, turbulent flow data are correlated to a standard deviation of 14.8%. By means of a normalizing procedure, data for the complex case of transitional flow heat transfer to non-Newtonian fluids are correlated to a standard deviation of 17.7%. At the transition region boundaries, the correlation is consistent with laminar and turbulent flow correlations. A basic similarity in the Newtonian and non-Newtonian heat transfer mechanisms is suggested.
