Heat transfer enhancement using segmented nonboiling gas-liquid flow is examined. Segmentation results in a two phase flow of liquid/gas having a constant liquid fraction; i.e., no phase change occurs. In this flow configuration, enhanced heat transfer occurs as a result of a shorter effective thermal length due to internal fluid circulation in the liquid plugs. A simple theory for laminar segmented flows is developed based on scaled Graetz theory and comparisons made with existing published data from the literature and new experimental data obtained in a companion study. The proposed model is valid for an isothermal tube wall provided that the axial residence time of the flow is such that dimensionless tube length L* < 0.1. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4002807]
