HEAT TRANSFER DURING THE TUBE FLOW OF AN He–Xe GAS MIXTURE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL PRESSURE GRADIENT DUE TO THE STRONG HEATING OF THE TUBE

Numerical investigation into the heat transfer during the fl ow of a helium–xenon gas mixture in a heated tube has been performed in a wide range of Reynolds numbers and values of the heat fl uxes into the tube wall with the diff erential turbulence model. A comparison has been made of the obtained calculation results and experimental data and the integral and local characteristics of the fl ow and heat transfer have been analyzed.
