The case of heat transfer by a cylindrical turbulent region is examined further theoretically from the standpoint of the vorticity transfer analogy. The radial distribution of the eddy diffusivity for vorticity is considered and, on the logarithmic velocity distribution law for fully developed turbulence, this quantity is found to be negative throughout an interval at the outer boundary of the turbulent region. When this region is excluded from the relevant integrals, results are obtained for the Nusselt modulus and radial temperature distribution for the particular case of Prandtl number equal to the ratio of the eddy diffusivities for vorticity and heat, and are compared with the corresponding results on the momentum transfer analogy theory.
