摘要
This paper presents an experimental study of heat transfer in a slightly rarefied gas flowing in a circular tube with constant wall temperature boundary condition. Local temperature measurements are carried out for the first time in rarefied gas flows to investigate into the anomalous values of Nusselt number (Nu) obtained by a previous experimental study (Demsis et al., 2009). The present measurements agree well with the low Nu reported by Demsis et al. (2009) when the Nu is obtained using their procedure; additionally, the measurements reveal the importance of end effects in determining the Nusselt number in rarefied gases. The Nusselt number obtained in the present experiments tends to zero with increasing axial conduction. Nu shows a weak dependence on Knudsen number for the range investigated here (0.001 < Kn < 0.012).
