Abstract
Heat transfer and pressure drop results in laminar, transitional and t urbulent flow are presented for the 0.7 to 126 Prandtl number range. T he working fluids for the experiments were air, water, ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol/water mixtures. For air or water, the Reynolds nu mber was varied between 600 and 50,000, while tests with pure glycol a nd glycol/water mixtures covered the 200-3,000 and 200-10.000 Reynolds number range, respectively.
