✦ Synopsis


The authors show how the Graets-Nusselt problem in heat transfer theory may be extended to non-Newtonian flow. A simple rheological model, " the power law ," is used to obtain a partial differential equation for the temperature profiles, to which a semi-analytical solution may be found. The temperature proties are then used to calculate average outlet temperatures, as well as Nueselt numbers for several degrees of non-Newtonian hehaviour. Tablea are given for estimating the effect of non-Newtonian flow on the heating and cooling of fluids in tubes. RBsum&-Lee auteum montrent comment etendre le problbme de GRAETZ-NUSSELT dans la thdorie du transfert de chaleur B un fluide non newtonien. Un modhle rheologique simpliA6, d&sign& sous le nom de " loi de puissance " permet d'obtenir, pour la &partition des temp&atures, une equation diff&entielle partielle, qui peut etre r&olue semi-analytiquement. Les repartitions des temperatures sont alors utilisdes pour calculer une temperature de sortie moyenne ainsi que les nombres de NUSSELT pour diff&enta Ccoulementa non-newtoniens. Des tables prmettent d'estimer l'effet d'&oulements non-newtoniens sur le rkhauffage et le refroidisaement de Auides circulant dans des tubes, 1.

## Ah&r&- The accuracy of a formula for calculating velocity gradient at the wag for power-law fluids is investigated by obtaining the exact numerical solution of the boundary-layer equations for Howarth's flow. In general, the formula is found to be quite accurate for the pseudo-plastic cases, n
