I can understand how the assumption of inviscid flow leads to Reynolds Number (Re) tending to infinity. But how does the assumption of inviscid flow lead to the assumption of no thermal conduction and mass diffusion? I would think Re tending to infinity would imply higher turbulence mixing, so higher heat transfer. Does the assumption of no thermal conduction mean no heat transfer OR that there is no heat transfer due to conduction (may be due to very high convective heat transfer)?

Not sure how to interpret the assumption of no thermal conductivity for a inviscid flow.
