Nusselt number as a function of LD and RBC velocity obtained in a straight cylinder with L = 83.5μm and rt = 23μm for RBCs centered at xc = L/2. The tube hematocrit Ht was obtained using Eq. (2). Top: solid line: vrbc = 0.2 mm/s; dashed line: vrbc = 2.4 mm/s. Middle: velocity dependence of the Nusselt number as a function of LD. Bottom: velocity dependence of the Nusselt number; the arrow indicates increasing values of LD.
