The hydrodynamics of a steady-state nonisothermal flow of a viscoelastic polymer medium in a plane channel and heat transfer in it under boundary conditions of the first kind have been investigated. Fluid flow with a low Reynolds number and a high Péclet number was investigated, which made it possible to neglect the gravity and inertial forces, as well as the longitudinal thermal conductivity of the medium. From the rheological viewpoint, the polymer melt represents a viscoelastic fluid; therefore the Phan-Thien–Tanner fluid model was used as a rheological model of the fluid, with viscosity depending on temperature and pressure. A high-viscosity medium was considered; therefore a dissipation term was included into the equation of the energy of its flow. With the use of the indicated rheological model the velocity profile of fluid flow was obtained in an explicit form from the equation of fluid motion. It has been established that the dependence of the fluid viscosity on temperature and pressure exerts a noticeable influence on the distribution of the Nusselt number and of bulk temperature of the fluid along the channel length. It is shown that account for the temperature dependence of fluid viscosity leads to a decrease in the role of energy dissipation of its flow in the process of flow heating and that, conversely, the dependence of the fluid viscosity on pressure considerably enhances the dissipation effect. The problem has been solved numerically by the method of finite differences.
