ABSTRACT

We carried out experimental investigations of heat transfer for a liquid metal flow in a horizontal tube in a transverse magnetic field. The experimental technique made it possible to avoid the influence of contact thermal resistance on the metal-wall interface on the measurements of heat-transfer coefficients. The buoyancy effects were taken into account. An equation is suggested which approximates the obtained data on the mean Nusselt number. Comparison with earlier experimental results is made.
