Abstract
Wall friction, temperature distribution and heat transfer through pipe walls are investigated in forced convection with Newtonian fluids in pressure gradient driven hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed steady laminar flow in transversally corrugated pipes. Novel analytical solutions derived via the epitrochoid conformal mapping are presented for the velocity and temperature fields. Analytical results are compared with numerical solutions obtained using the finite volume technique. The effect of the corrugation amplitude and the number of waves on the friction factor, the temperature distribution and the Nusselt number is discussed.
