Abstract
In this work the purely tangential flow of a Giesekus fluid in an annulus with rotating inner wall subject to thermal boundary conditions of the first kind (imposed temperature) at the walls is investigated employing the analytical solution for the velocity profile. Viscous dissipation is accounted for by first deriving a consistent Brinkman number which is easily related to the one usually employed in previous studies and the temperature profiles are obtained for different values of the Deborah number and the non-dimensional mobility factor. Results for the Nusselt numbers at the inner and outer wall are also discussed.
