A lubrication approximation model is developed to furnish a semi-analytical solution. The shear viscous heating terms are neglected to simplify the governing equations. The Cross-WLF viscosity model is used to capture the residual layer. There is a good agreement between the results of the developed model and experiments.enThe copyright for the paper content remains with the author.Fluid MechanicsHeat TransferHeat transferCross-WLF modelResidual layer thicknessNon-Newtonian fluidBlocking timeArticle
