 Conduction in the solid( in steady state and steady flow)

Boundary conditions

 At pipe axis (r = 0): and

 At inner solid wall (r = ri): No-slip conditions are considered. uw = 0 and vw = 0.

 At pipe inlet (x=0): Uniform flow and uniform temperature were assumed.

 At pipe outlet (x=L):All the gradients of the variables were set to zero, i.e
where φ is the fluid property and η is any arbitrary direction.
Boundary conditions

 At outer surface of the pipe (r = r0):Uniform surface temperature is assumed, i.e.: T = T0

(K).
 At solid-fluid interface (r = ri), i.e. r = ri and 0≤ x ≤ L
and T s = Tf
Entropy Analysis

 The local entropy generation per unit volume for an incompressible Newtonian flow
system is

 In polar coordinates the viscous dissipation ( )

Entropy Analysis

 Total entropy generation rate over the volume is

 The rate or irreversibility is:

Conclusions

 Entropy contours do not follow the temperature profiles.

 Entropy production rate is low at the pipe inlet and as the pipe length increases it
signifies.
 Entropy production rate is high in the region close to the pipe wall.
 Increasing Reynolds number enhances the entropy production rate.
