Abstract—Laminar forced convection in curved pipe placed in agitated vessel has been studied experimentally for the flow of both Newtonian fluid (water) and power law non-Newtonian fluids (5%, 1% and 2% aqueous CMC solutions. The heat transfer has been calculated using modified Wilson method. It is found that the Nusselt number is function of Dean and Prandtl numbers. The following correlation is found for flow of Newtonian and power law non-Newtonian fluids flowing through helical coils.

Index Terms—Agitated vessel, Newtonian, Non-newtonian power law, Wilson method
