Effects of Temperature on the Flow and Heat Transfer in Gel Fuels: A Numerical Study

In general, rheological properties of gelled fuels change dramatically when temperature changes. In this work, we investigate flow and heat transfer of water-gel in a straight pipe and a tapered injector for non-isothermal conditions, which mimic the situations when gelled fuels are used in propulsi...
