Abstract

Morton's series for fully developed laminar flow through a uniformly heated horizontal pipe is simplified by assuming high Prandtl number, and then extended by computer to 31 terms in powers of a parameter that is the product of the Prandtl, Rayleigh, and Reynolds numbers. As in the analogous problems, treated previously, of flow through a loosely coiled pipe and a slowly rotating pipe, convergence is limited by a conjugate pair of square-root singularities on the imaginary axis. For the global heat flux, an Euler transformation and extraction of the nearest singularity at infinity yield an approximation in good agreement with existing experiment and numerical solution. The Nusselt number is found to grow asymptotically as the $\frac{2}{15}$-power of the parameter, whereas boundary-layer analyses have suggested a 1/5-power.
