Forced Convective Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Chracteristics in Curved Ducts

Fluid flow through curved ducts is influenced by the centrifugal action arising from duct curvature and has behaviour uniquely different to flow within straight ducts. In such flows, centrifugal forces induce secondary flow vortices and produce spiralling fluid motion within curved ducts. Secondar...
