Theoretical and experimental studies show that axial oscillation of a fluidwithin pipes can lead to enhancing heat transfer of the fluid. The enhancement multiple of hey ans-fer is a function of (△x/R)2

Womersley number (Worn) and Prandtl number (Pr). Under lerinar conditions

intensive mixture of fluid lumps is impossible. It can be considered that the heat trans’er of the oscillated fluid is completed in form of conduction. In the case of lower Womersley number. the velocity and displacement profiles of the fluid are paraboloids. Normal temperature gradient on the displacement profile for the oscillated fluid is greater than that for the static fluid. Also

the effective conduction area of the oscillated fluid is greater than that of the static fluid. Therefore

the conductive heat transfer rate of the oscillated fluid is obviously greater than that of the static fluid. The oscillation is only the means to make a enhanced area of heat transfer and enhanced temperature gradient continuously. According to this mechanism

the relation of (a1/a) - 1∝ (△x/R)2 is derived . Also

the effects of Womersley number

Prandtl number and wall of the pipe on the enhanced heat transfer are elaborated in this paper.
