Abstract In this paper, Nusselt numbers for a power-law fluid in a fully developed laminar flow between parallel plates with constant, and different, wall heat
fluxes in the presence of dissipation effects are presented. The Nusselt numbers values were obtained following two different approaches. One is the
“classical” approach, based on a single bulk temperature, and this approach is used in this work to obtain for the first time generic analytical
expressions for Nusselt numbers. In the new approach, different bulk temperatures are used for each Nu′ determination, one bulk temperature for
each side of the More >
