Why is this work in the frame?

A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Canadian affiliationAn author listed a Canadian institution. This is the only route the usual frame has.
Canadian funderA Canadian agency funded it. The work may carry no Canadian affiliation at all.

Full frame distilled prediction

Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract

A new model for predicting Nusselt numbers in the combined entrance region of non-circular ducts and channels is developed. This model predicts both local and average Nusselt numbers and is valid for both isothermal and isoflux boundary conditions. The model is developed using the asymptotic results for convection from a flat plate, thermally developing flows in non-circular ducts, and fully developed flow in non-circular ducts. Through the use of a novel characteristic length scale, the square root of cross-sectional area, the effect of duct shape on Nusselt number is minimized. Comparisons are made with several existing models for the circular tube and parallel plate channel and with numerical data for several non-circular ducts. Agreement between the proposed model and numerical data is within ±15percent or better for most duct shapes.
