Internal Flow Convection-constant surface temperature case

Another commonly encountered internal convection condition is when the surface temperature of the pipe is a constant. The temperature distribution in this case is drastically different from that of a constant heat flux case. Consider the following pipe flow configuration:

Tm,i

Tm,o

Constant Ts

Tm

Tm+dTm

qs=hA(Ts-Tm)
