Transient heat convection in a circular microchannel for hydrodynamically fully developed and thermally developing flow conditions is analytically solved by the integral transform and the Laplace transform techniques. A prescribed wall temperature boundary condition is assumed. The effects of velocity slip, temperature jump, and viscous heating are investigated. The results confirm that the viscous heating effects increase the Nusselt number for the specified conditions.
