Abstract
Heat transfer in turbulent forced convection of pseudoplastic fluids i s analytically studied, in thermally developing flow within circular t ubes subjected to a prescribed wall heat flux. A splitting-up procedur e, in conjunction with the so-called sign-count method for numerical s olution of the associated eigenvalue problem, are employed to obtain t he temperature distributions and consequently, the local Nusselt numbe rs along the thermal entry and fully developed regions, for different Reynolds and Prandtl numbers and power-law indices.
