โฆ Synopsis
The original problem for thermally developing heat transfer in laminar flow through a circular tube, as formulated by Graetz, did not consider the 'slip-flow' condition. This paper extends the original work of Graetz to include the effect of slip-flow, which occurs in gases at low pressures or in microtubes at ordinary pressures. A special technique was developed to evaluate the eigenvalues for the problem. Eigenvalues were evaluated for Knudsen numbers ranging between 0 and 0.12. Simplified relationships were developed to describe the effect of slip-flow on the convection heat transfer coefficient.

The extension of the Graetz problem to include axial conduction has been of interest in view of its application to a number of low Peclet number heat or mass transfer situations. Past efforts in dealing with this problem have been plagued with uncertainties arising from expansion in terms of "eigenf
