AbstractThe problem of heat transfer in a duct or tube for large values of the Péclet number has traditionally been solved by assuming that diffusion in the axial direction is negligible. This approach was used by Graetz [2] for the circular tube and by Prins et al [5] for the flat duct to obtain a series solution for downstream temperature field.Since these series converge very slowly in the neighbourhood of the origin, some other approach is necessary in the thermal entrance region. This was supplied by Lévêque [3] and extended by Mercer [4] who matched the Lévêque solution to the eigenfunction expansion.In all these solutions it was assumed that the axial diffusion of heat was negligible, but this assumption is invalid close to the discontinuity, since in this region the axial temperature gradient is large and the fluid velocity is small, so that axial diffusion plays an important role.In this paper, the assumptions implicit in Lévêque's solution are re-examined, and the correct approximation in the neighbourhood of the discontinuity as well as the solution which matches this into Lévêque's solution are presented. In the first of these solutions, diffusion is the only heat-transfer mechanism, while in the matching solution diffusion and convection are in balance.The corresponding solutions for the case of prescribed flux on the boundary are also considered.

Abstract In this investigation, Lfd* and Δp in the entrance region of circular and parallel plate microchannels have been determined for 10−2≤Re≤104 and 10−4≤Kn≤0.2, employing the second-order velocity slip condition at the wall with C1=1 and 0≤C2≤0.5. Results indicate that although local velocity slip at the wall is always higher than that for the fully developed section, local wall shear stress for higher Kn and C2 could be lower than its fully developed value, which is also more prominent for lower Re. Therefore, depending upon the operating condition, K(x) and Kfd could assume negative values, implying that pressure gradient in the developing region could even be less than that in the fully developed section. It has been further observed that both Lfd* and Kfd are characterized by the low and the high Re asymptotes, using which extremely accurate correlations have been proposed for both geometries.
