Mathematical model is then developed with the aim of deriving correlations for prediction of f and Nu for flow in channels of arbitrary geometry (beta and b/l). Thermal and hydraulic characteristics are evaluated using analytical solutions for the entrance and fully developed regions of a sinusoidal duct adapted to the basic single cell. The derived correlations are finally adjusted so as to agree with experimental results from tests on channels with beta = 28° and beta = 65°. f and Nu calculated by the presented correlations are shown to be consistent with experimental data from the literature at Re = 2-10,000, beta = (15-67)° and b/l = 0.26-0.4.
