Abstract
A heat transfer model of fluid flow inside closed channels with arbitrary shapes has been built from momentum and energy equations. The model equations have been solved with Galerkin-based method. Detailed velocity and temperature fields in the fluid flow have been obtained. Using the solution fields the friction factors and heat transfer rates have been also calculated. To validate the developed solution procedure, the results have been compared to the results of numerical methods and experimental data.
