Abstract

This paper presents a technique that collapses existing experimental data of\nheat transfer in pipe flow of Newtonian and power law fluids into a single\nmaster curve. It also discusses the theoretical basis of heat, mass and\nmomentum analogies and the implications of the present analysis to\nvisualisations of turbulence.\n
