Conduction in eccentric spherical annuli
An exact solution of the problem of heat conduction in the annulus between eccentric isothermal spheres with internal heat generation is obtained. The solution is given in terms of the temperature distribution and local and average Nusselt numbers. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
