Abstract
A theoretical analysis on the forced laminar convection in the hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed flow in a rotating isothermal duct with the effect of axial conduction is presented. The duct is rotating about an axis normal to the main flow direction and a secondary fluid motion is introduced by the Coriolis force. The temperature distribution may vary exponentially along the main flow direction. It becomes a two-dimensional eigenvalue problem. For a small value of Pe, the axial conduction in the thermally fully developed flow is considered. The axial velocity, the temperature, and the eigenvalue are solved by using an upwind finite-difference iterative scheme.
