An exact solution is presented for the temperature distribution and local Nusselt number of power law fluid in conduit at low Peclet number flow by considering axial conduction in both the upstream and the downstream regions while keeping the wall at constant temperature. Solutions are also reported for the parallel plate geometry for the aforementioned heat transfer condition and for constant wall heat flux boundary condition. The order of importance of axial conduction is established for different geometries and different boundary conditions. The effect of axial conduction is more significant when power law model index, s, increases for constant wall heat flux case, but the effect changes with Peclet number for constant wall temperature case.

The historical approach to averaging the convection coefficient in tubes of constant wall heat flux leads to quantitative errors in short tubes as high as 12.5% for convection into fully developed flows and 33.3% for convection into hydrodynamically developing flows. This mistake can be found in teaching texts and monographs on heat transfer, as well as in major handbooks. Using the correctly defined relationship between local and average convection coefficients, eight new correlations are presented for fully developed and developing flows in round tubes and between parallel plates for the constant wall heat flux condition. These new correlations are within 2% of exact solutions for fully developed flows and within 6% of first principle calculations for hydrodynamically developing flows.

Effect of wall electrical conductance on laminar fully developed magnetohydrodynamic heat transfer in a channel with constant wall heat flux and exact magnetohydrodynamic boundary conditions are investigated. For channels with insulated walls, viscous dissipation is more important than joule heating for all Ec and M. For sufficiently large wall conductance, viscous dissipation is dominated by joule heating for all Ec, if M is large enough; both are in turn dominated by wall heat flux if Ec is large enough for all M. These and other conclusions are discussed in this paper.

The steady-state, viscous flow and heat transfer of nanofluid in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of a stationary cylinder with constant wall heat flux is investigated. The impinging free-stream is steady and with a constant strain rate, k ?. Exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation are derived in this problem. A reduction of these equations is obtained by use of appropriate transformations introduced in this research. The general self-similar solution is obtained when the wall heat flux of the cylinder is constant. All the previous solutions are presented for Reynolds number Re = k ?a2/2n f ranging from 0.1 to 1000, selected values of heat flux and selected values of particle fractions where a is cylinder radius and n f is kinematic viscosity of the base fluid. For all Reynolds numbers, as the particle fraction increases, the depth of diffusion of the fluid velocity field in radial direction, the depth of the diffusion of the fluid velocity field in z-direction, shear-stresses and pressure function decreases. However, the depth of diffusion of the thermal boundary-layer increases. It is clear by adding nanoparticles to the base fluid there is a significant enhancement in Nusselt number and heat transfer.
