Abstract:

An exact solution of the problem of fully developed forced convection through semi-elliptic ducts is obtained under constant axial heat flux and peripherally uniform temperature. The solution is validated by comparing the local and average Nusselt numbers with the published approximate and asymptotic values.

Key words: semi-elliptic, convection, duct
