Hello,
I was reading an article, and I found something unfamiliar(sorry I am not into heat transfer a lot) :
For the energy balance of the fluid, I didn't understand the mCpθ where θ is the temperature and mCp(θ+dθ/dx θ) terms. I know that for a control volume, the energy balance for incompressible steady flow etc.. ΔH = Q = mCpΔθ. I know here we will have the same result at the end but the idea of taking these two terms as heat flux confused me.
Thank you
