Experimental investigation of circumferentially non-uniform heat flux on the heat transfer coefficient in a smooth horizontal tube with buoyancy driven secondary flow

Most heat transfer tubes are designed for either fully uniform wall temperature or fully uniform wall heat flux boundary conditions under forced convection. Several applications, including but not limited to the solar collectors of renewable energy systems, do however operate with non-uniform boun...
