Abstract
Analytical solutions of the energy equation are obtained showing stron g effects of flow swirl: (sr) significant increase in heat exchange, ( b) heal isolation of a wall, (c) formation of temperature fronts and ( d) flame stabilization in vortex burners. Two problems are studied in detail: (i) a point source of heat at the origin of a swirling jet sub merged in an infinite fluid and (ii) heat transfer from an isothermal wall near a swirling jet. The paper explains the physical mechanism of effects (a-d) and shows the means to control them. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
