"The purpose of this investigation was to determine the eddy thermal diffusivity values as a function of radial position at various Reynolds numbers for a fluid flowing turbulently in a pipe. The ratios of the eddy thermal diffusivity and the eddy viscosity were also investigated.
A vertical column of copper tube two inches in diameter was constructed which consisted of an entrance section for the development of the velocity profile and a heating section for the development of the temperature distribution. The heating section was jacketed and maintained at a constant wall temperature at about 103 ° F by the …
