Thermal Analysis in Pipe Flow: Influence of Variable Viscosity on Entropy Generation

Abstract: Flow through pipes and heating situations find wide applications in industry. Depending on the fluid properties, temperature field in the pipe changes. This in turn results in thermodynamic irreversibility in the flow system. Thermodynamic irreversibility can be quantified through amount o...
