Analysis of Turbulent Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, and Friction in Smooth Tubes at High Prandtl and Schmidt Numbers

Abstract

From Introduction: "In the analysis given herein, which was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory, the expression for eddy diffusivity given in reference 1 is modified in order to account for the effect of kinematic viscosity in reducing the turbulence in the region close to the wall. The effects of variable viscosity and of length-to-diameter ratio are also investigated."
