โฆ Synopsis
The problem considered is that of the heat transfer occurring at the inlet to a circular tube. Using the method of a previous paper we solve the energy equation ill the form of a power series, instead of transforming the equation into an eigenvalue problem by separation of variables, as is usual in such cases. We thus obtain information concerning the temperature distribution at the inlet to the tube which is not provided by the latter method. 2k sufficient number of coefficients of the power series has been computed to allow the present solution to be joined to one of the second type, thus completing the solution of the problem for all values of the longitudinal variable.
