Abstract

To explore the influence of the developing flow in a flat channel on the laminar forced convection heat transfer, the non-linear momentum and the linear energy equation are solved successively by employing the Galerkin-Kantorowich method of variational calculus. Assuming constant fluid properties, negligible axial diffusion and temperature boundary condition of the third kind, semi analytic solution for velocity and temperature is derived. The local Nusselt numbers are tabulated for various values of Biot and Prandtl number.
