FIGURE 2 VARIATION OF TEMPERATURE DROP
FIGURE 1 SCHEMATIC OF THE CIRCULAR DUCT
FACTOR
Table 1 gives the TDF for the range of mass flow rates Let us consider the extreme cases of combinations, viz.,
considered in this study. The same is represented graphically in high mass flow rate and low temperature and low mass flow
Fig. 2. The input parameters of inlet temperature and mass rate and high temperature (S. Nos. 1 and 14). Let ΔTa1 and
flow rates for different cases considered for analysis in the ΔTss1 represent the drop in air temperature along the duct and
present study are given in Table 2. It is clear from the table 2 raise in duct temperature respectively for Case 1 and
that the range considered encompasses both buoyancy corresponding parameters for Case 2 be denoted as ΔTa2 and
dominated flows as well as regimes where buoyancy effects ΔTss2. Then we have from Table 1,
are negligible. The assumption of constant specific heat for the
duct material is based on the fact that the variation is negligible ΔTa1 = 0.0909ΔTss1 (5)
