A Derivation of the Colburn Analogy
K. T. Trinh
This paper presents a derivation of the empirical Colburn analogy and discusses its implications. Key words: heat transfer, Colburn, j factor, turbulence, power law, log-law, wall…
The generalised Blasius correlation for turbulent flow past flat plates
K. T. Trinh
This paper presents a theoretical derivation of the empirical Blasius power law correlation for the friction factor. The coefficients in this correlation are shown to be dependent…
On the Sieder state correction and its equivalent in mass transfer
K. T. Trinh
The physical background behind the success of the Sieder-Tate correction in heat transfer is analysed. The equivalent correction for mass transfer correlations is based on the rati…
The wall shear rate in non-Newtonian turbulent pipe flow
K. T. Trinh
This paper presents a method for calculating the wall shear rate in pipe turbulent flow. It collapses adequately the data measured in laminar flow and turbulent flow into a single…
A general correlation for turbulent friction factors in non-Newtonian fluids
Khanh Tuoc Trinh
Correlations of friction factors are presented for the general case of purely viscous non-Newtonian fluids without requiring a priori the adoption of a rheological model. They are…
Turbulent Couette Flow:An analytical solution
Khanh Tuoc Trinh
A simple analytical solution for turbulent plane Couette flow is obtained from a subset of the Navier-Stokes equations. This approach analyses the effect of the unsteady state Lagr…
