Abstract

From Introduction: "Beyond the position where the boundary layer treatment can no longer be used, curves have been faired to connect the Nusselt number results of the present analysis with those of reference 3, in which a parabolic velocity profile is assumed throughout the entire duct length. So that a comparison could be made with the results of reference 3, the boundary layer analysis was used to study the development of the temperature profile associated with a parabolic velocity profile throughout."
