Improper startup as well as improper shutdown of thermal fluid systems can lead to premature fluid degradation.
If the flow rate decreases while the heat input remains constant, both film and bulk temperatures will increase. Less fluid mass is available to remove the heat transferred to the tubing. And because the film coefficient is almost linear with velocity, the film temperature will increase due to the decreased heat transfer efficiency.
