Abstract

Modified Watson's functions dependent on the Womersley Number, concerning a forced oscillatory pipe flow, are introduced to mathematically simply express the effective thermal conductivity, the tidal displacement, and the tidal work of fluid. Those three are developed into algebraic expressions giving the required electrical oscillating power and the necessary number of capillary tubes. The relative conductivity increase, the specific shaker driving power, and the specific tube bundle size are graphically shown in the figures for several fluids of interest to contribute to designing a heaterless liquid warmer.
