An investigation of turbulent heat transfer in a revolving square-sectioned tube is reported in this paper. It is demonstrated that rotation about a parallel axis enhances the customary forced convection heat transfer, and a correlating equation for assessing this effect is proposed. The range of parameters covered in the experiments permit the results to have application for the assessment of heat transfer in certain gas-cooled electrical machine rotors.
