The heat transfer between concentric vibrating circular cylinders
Abstract
In this paper we investigate the heat transfer across the annulus between two circular cylinders, which are maintained at different temperatures, when the inner cylinder performs small-amplitude harmonic oscillations perpendicular to its generators and the outer one is at rest. Numerical solutions of the governing equations are obtained for the time-mean velocity and thermal fields within the annulus for a range of values of the three parameters which characterize them, namely the ratio of the cylinder diameters, a streaming Reynolds number, and the Prandtl number. In all cases the effect of the fluid motion is to bring about an increase, in some cases a marked increase, in the amount of heat transferred from inner to outer cylinder over and above that which is possible by conduction alone.
