TOPPER [l] investigated the temperature distribution for plug flow, in cylindrical channels, kept at constant wall temperature, with uniform and constant generation of heat within the fluid, when the fluid enters the channel at a prescribed temperature. He also considered the problem of temperature equalization, when the inlet temperature has one constant value for part of the radius, and another value for the rest of the radius. The solution of the first problem is helpful in estimating temperatures developed in chemical and nuclear reactors, and that of the second problem in estimating average life of non-uniformities of the temperature in such streams. His treatment of these problems is approximate and is based on the assumption that

Consider a stream of fluid entering the channel of radius r = 8. At z = 0, the stream temperature is To, and the uniform wall temperature is T,. The energy equation for steady state, and in case of axial symmetry simplifies as

In this case, the temperature of the entering fluid (at ;I: = 0) is assumed to be T, for part of the radius, say from r = o to r = a, and T, for the rest of the radius (from r = a to r = s). The wall temperature remains constant T,. The energy equation (1) with q = 0 simplifies to
